Circle Revives IPO Plans After Delay
Circle operates as an international financial technology company, providing infrastructure that allows businesses to utilize digital currencies and public blockchain networks for global payments, commerce, and financial services. The company is in the process of developing what it describes as the most extensive and widely adopted stablecoin platform, and through its regulated subsidiaries, it issues both USDC and EURC stablecoins.
According to data from CoinGecko, USDC currently represents approximately 24.5% of the total stablecoin market, with a circulating supply valued at $61.5 billion.
Circle initially submitted its initial public offering (IPO) registration to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this year on April 1st. However, following tariff-related announcements by President Donald Trump on April 2nd, which led to a downturn in global financial markets, the company chose to delay its IPO. A previous effort to go public in 2021 involved a proposed acquisition by a holding entity based in Ireland, although that transaction ultimately did not materialize.
