Circle Internet Financial, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, successfully completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on June 5, 2025. The company’s shares are now trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol CRCL.

Here are some key highlights from Circle’s IPO:

* IPO Date: June 5, 2025

* Exchange: New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)

* Stock Symbol: CRCL

* IPO Price: $31 per share (higher than the initially expected range of $27–$28)

* Initial Valuation: Around $6.9 billion, with a fully diluted valuation of close to $8.1 billion (although some reports had suggested valuations as high as $18–22 billion at the time of the IPO).

This IPO is considered a significant event for the crypto and fintech sectors, as it is the first major cryptocurrency-related IPO in 2025. It is seen as a bullish signal for the broader digital asset market and could encourage other companies in the sector to go public.

Circle’s main product is USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin that is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and backed by cash and short-term US Treasury bonds. The company also issues EURC, a stablecoin denominated in euros, and provides various financial and technology services that help businesses integrate stablecoins and blockchain into their operations.

The strong investor interest in Circle’s IPO, with shares jumping significantly above their issue price on the first day of trading, suggests growing acceptance and seriousness on Wall Street towards digital currencies and stablecoins.
