#CircleIPO

**Circle IPO 101 (100 words):**

Circle Internet Group, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “CRCL” on June 5, 2025. The company raised \$1.1 billion by pricing 34 million shares at \$31 each—above its initial range—resulting in a valuation near \$8 billion. USDC, Circle’s flagship product, is the second-largest stablecoin with over \$61 billion in circulation. The IPO reflects growing Wall Street confidence in crypto infrastructure and coincides with bipartisan momentum for stablecoin regulation in the U.S. Circle plans to use the proceeds to expand USDC’s global adoption and strengthen its position in digital payments.
