coinbase is still a company with shareholders - decentralized or not. there are shareholders who want liquidity; there are investors who want in now.
the choice of listing has nothing to do with the monetary unit of trade ($, euro, btc, doge etc). the exchange simply enables them to trade the equity of their company. NASDAQ/US is just the most liquid one (and likely where their immediate investors past and future are going to have access to already)
but perhaps I'm not aware of alternatives where one can trade equity in the crypto/defi market?
happy to learn if you point me to the right places.
