While Wednesday’s initial public offering (IPO) of stock in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) may be hard to top in the excitement department, there are four more noteworthy non-SPAC IPOs launching Thursday.

While no single Thursday IPO can match Coinbase’s $85 billion opening day market cap, the four IPOs combined are set to add more than $44 billion to the value of U.S.-traded firms.
