#CircleIPO CircleIPO: The issuer USDC's entry into the stock market

On June 5, 2025, Circle Internet Group, known as the issuer of the stablecoin USDC, successfully conducted an initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CRCL. The company raised $1.05 billion by selling 34 million shares at a price of $31 each, exceeding the expected range of $27–28.

This IPO has become one of the largest in 2025 and indicates the growing interest of investors in cryptocurrency companies integrating into traditional financial markets. Circle, founded in 2013, is the second-largest issuer of stablecoins after Tether, with a market capitalization of USDC exceeding $61 billion.

Circle's entry into the stock market comes against the backdrop of changes in the regulatory environment in the U.S., becoming more favorable for cryptocurrency firms. This move may strengthen institutional investors' trust in stable digital assets and open new opportunities for the company's growth.
