#CircleIPO đUSDC Giant Targets $7.2B Valuation in NYSE Debut â What It Means for Crypto đ
Circle, the issuer of $60B USDC, is set to go public today (June 4) on the NYSE under $CRCL, targeting a $7.2B valuation at $27â28/share after strong investor demand upsized the offering.
đĽÂ Why This Matters:
- Institutional Stamp: BlackRock and Ark Invest are among top buyers, signaling mainstream crypto adoption.
- Stablecoin Dominance: USDCâs market cap grew 40% YTD vs. Tetherâs 10%, fueled by MiCA compliance in the EU.
- Revenue Model: 99% of Circleâs $1.6B income comes from Treasury yieldsâwatch Fed rate cuts.
đĄÂ Trading Insight:
- Coinbase Impact: COIN shares may rally (50% revenue share from USDC).
- Regulatory Tailwinds: GENIUS Act passage could cement USDC as the compliant stablecoin leader.
â ď¸Â Risk: Interest rate sensitivity could pressure margins if yields fall.
