Uber is going public Friday, and will begin trading under the ticker symbol "UBER" later this morning in one of the largest IPOs in US history.

The ride-hailing company kicked off its IPO day on the New York Stock Exchange with the traditional bell-ringing ceremony that signals the start of trading for the day.

Before the day began, there was already some drama surrounding the ceremony. Controversial former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick reportedly asked the company's current CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, if he could be on the balcony to help ring in Uber's IPO. However, Khosrowshahi rejected his request, but Kalanick is there on the floor of the NYSE.

This is the biggest tech IPO since Facebook in 2012. Uber has an initial valuation of $75.5 billion, and priced its IPO at $45 a share.
