Crypto exchange operator Coinbase Global will join the S&P 500, replacing Discover Financial Services in the broad market index.

Coinbase, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol COIN, will be added before trading opens on Monday, May 19, S&P Dow Jones Indices confirmed. Discover will drop out of the index at that time.
Discover Financial Services is being acquired by $Capital One Financial Corp(COF-N)$. in a deal expected to close soon, pending closing conditions.
With a market value of $50.8 billion, Coinbase is one of the largest companies not in the S&P 500 and has been considered a contender to join.
