Coinbase · 
Coinbase sits among the top cryptocurrency exchanges in the world and is one of the most respected businesses in the crypto space. In April 2021, it was listed on the Nasdaq exchange and became the first major cryptocurrency company to go public. Many mark this event as a significant milestone in improving the image of blockchain as a legitimate industry. The exchange's popularity also led to a popular phenomenon known as the "Coinbase effect", where cryptocurrencies saw a huge surge in price following their listing on the exchange.
