Circle announces a significant update: the IPO scale reaches a new high. Circle has announced that it will expand the IPO issuance scale to 150 million shares, with the price range raised to $18-20 per share, expecting to raise up to $3 billion (including the green shoe option)! This decision comes from the oversubscription by institutional investors — according to roadshow data, the order volume has exceeded 8 times the issuance scale, indicating a remarkable level of enthusiasm!
As the global leader in stablecoins (with USDC's market capitalization exceeding $25 billion, capturing 40% of the cryptocurrency stablecoin market), Circle's fundraising will focus on: ✅ Deepening the cross-border payment network (already covering 100+ countries, supporting real-time conversion of 50+ fiat currencies) ✅ Expanding institutional-level DeFi solutions (partners include industry giants like Coinbase, BlackRock, Fidelity, etc.) ✅ Strengthening the compliance framework (holding financial licenses in the US, EU, UK, and other regions)
Notably, the IPO's joint underwriting team is impressive: led by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup, with star institutions like ARK Invest indicating a long-term holding position. From its founding in 2013 to its listing on NASDAQ in 2025, Circle has taken 12 years to prove that when blockchain technology deeply integrates with compliant finance, it can break down the boundaries of traditional finance — and this is just the prologue of the digital economy revolution!
Circle adopts a "Dutch auction" mechanism this time, allowing more retail investors to participate at a fair price, truly embodying the concept of "open finance"! #Circle扩大IPO规模 #我的COS交易 #韩国加密政策
