Deutsche Boerse will de-list Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares from its Xetra market and the Frankfurt stock exchange by the end of Friday until further notice.

  • Missing reference data was cited by Deutsche Boerse as the reason for this de-listing, Reuters reported Wednesday.
  • An incorrect legal entity identifier (LEI) code was used when COIN.O began trading on Deutsche Boerse’s platforms.
  • Deutsche Boerse said the de-listing will apply until further notice.
  • The crypto exchange can resume trading on its exchanges only by the issuer applying for an LEI.
  • "We're aware of an administrative error that has made it necessary for Coinbase to resubmit certain documentation to certain European stock exchanges," a Coinbase spokesperson told CoinDesk. "There have been no interruptions to trading of Coinbase stock at this time. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible."

NYDIG, meanwhile, rejected the basis-trade theory, citing the large discount and the lack of an unusual spike in corresponding CME bitcoin futures volume.

What to know:

  • A $1.26 billion block sale of BlackRock’s IBIT shares was likely a rapid exit by a large investor, not an arbitrage unwind, according to NYDIG.
  • The seller of the $1.26 billion IBIT block accepted a 2.3% discount ($29.5 million loss), signaling a priority on speed and certainty over maximizing price.
