#CircleIPO

Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, announced its success in raising $1.05 billion through its initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, selling 34 million shares at a price of $31 per share, giving the company a valuation of nearly $8 billion.

This move is one of the largest listings of 2025 and reflects the increasing interest from investors in companies associated with digital currencies that are moving toward traditional financial markets. Circle is classified as the second-largest issuer of stablecoins after Tether, with a market capitalization of USDC exceeding $61 billion.

Shares of Circle are expected to start trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CRCL". This step comes amid changes in the U.S. regulatory environment toward digital currencies, with promises of more friendly policies for companies operating in this field.

Additionally, Circle announced the relocation of its headquarters from Boston to New York City, where it will occupy one of the upper floors of the One World Trade Center, in a move aimed at strengthening its presence in the heart of the traditional financial sector.

This step is seen as an indicator of the maturation of the digital currency sector and its entry into a new phase of integration with traditional financial markets.
