Circle Internet Group, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has successfully raised $1.05 billion in its U.S. initial public offering (IPO), pricing 34 million shares at $31 each. This IPO, one of the largest in 2025, values the company at approximately $8 billion and marks a significant milestone for crypto-related firms entering traditional financial markets. Circle's shares are set to begin trading today on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CRCL." The offering was heavily oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor interest in stablecoins and crypto infrastructure. The IPO's success comes amid a shift in U.S. crypto regulatory outlook, with the proposed GENIUS Act aiming to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Circle's USDC currently holds a market cap exceeding $61 billion, making it the second-largest stablecoin after Tether. #CircleIPO
