**CircleIPO Takes Off! 🚀**
Circle (CRCL), the issuer behind USDC, made a stunning debut on the NYSE today, surging +168%. The stock opened at \$31 and closed at \$83.23, pushing the company’s valuation to \$18.4 billion.
This IPO marks a significant milestone for crypto’s integration into traditional finance, bolstered by Circle’s strong Q1 performance—\$578 million in revenue and \$64 million in net profit. Wall Street is clearly taking notice, especially with USDC’s impressive \$60 billion in circulation.
Is this the beginning of a new wave of crypto companies going public?
