#CircleIPO Circle’s IPO is a game-changer for crypto! The USDC stablecoin issuer debuted on the NYSE under ticker CRCL, raising $1.05B by selling 34M shares at $31 each, above the $27-$28 range. Shares surged 168%, hitting $83, with a market cap of $6.8B and a fully diluted valuation near $8.1B. Oversubscribed 25x, it shows massive investor appetite, fueled by growing stablecoin adoption and a crypto-friendly U.S. regulatory shift, like the GENIUS Act. Circle’s compliance-first approach and payments network position it as a fintech leader, but volatility risks remain, as seen with Coinbase’s 2021 IPO.
