$USDC
๐ข Circle goes public. Stablecoins now with a stock prospectus.
Circle, the one that packaged USDC for us, has decided to go public. Yes, not on a DEX, but on the old good traditional exchange with brokers, suits, and $9 coffee.
๐ What this could mean:
โ Stablecoins are no longer just crypto for yield farmers, but an "asset class for respectable people".
โ Circle will open its finances. It will be interesting to see how "stable" everything is for them.
โ If the IPO is successful, prepare for a new wave of regulated crypto with exchange reports and a CEO who isnโt sitting on Twitter.
Also โ this is the first major attempt for a stablecoin to legally integrate into the traditional financial system. And here the question arises: will $USDC turn into yet another banking app with KYC in the style of "fill out a form, wait two weeks, and then, maybe, you can buy some USDC".
