So hey, did you guys hear about what’s going on with USDC? As of May 4, it's still holding strong at around $1—so it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The company behind it, Circle, is making some pretty big moves. They just got an EMI license in France, which basically means they can now issue USDC and also EURC (their Euro version) in the EU, totally in line with the new MiCA crypto regulations. That’s a big deal because it opens up a lot of legit business opportunities for them across Europe.

And get this—Circle has also filed to go public! They’re planning to list on the New York Stock Exchange with their own ticker. That’s a bold step, especially with all the regulatory heat crypto companies have been facing lately. But it seems like Circle’s really trying to show the world they’re playing by the rules and are here for the long haul. It’s kind of cool seeing stablecoins go from this niche thing to something that might soon be tied to a big Wall Street listing. Makes you wonder how much more mainstream crypto is about to get.
