Last month Coinbase confirmed that it had confidentially filed a draft S-1 registration document with the Securities and Exchange Commission over a public listing.

Now the firm says it will not take the traditional IPO route but instead go for a direct listing, with no new shares created and only existing, outstanding shares available for trading.

Coinbase, which has 43 million registered users and $90 billion of assets on its platform, has not provided any further details and the S-1 is still not public.
