Circle’s long-awaited IPO
“We are now publicly stating that we are in the circle and the development of the Internet financial system and the development of the Internet financial system,” Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in a letter contained in the prospectus.
He added: “While we are proud and confident in our ability to seek this opportunity, our future is full of uncertainty and risks (as it was in the past) and we must successfully navigate.”
Circle’s public offering has been one of the most anticipated products in the cryptocurrency industry as it has been trying to do so for years. Details of the company’s share sale, including the proposed price range and stock quantity, are not disclosed and will be disclosed in future documents.
“For Circle, being a publicly traded company on the NYSE is our desire to operate with maximum transparency and responsibility,” Allaire said.
“We are building the infrastructure we believe is critical for the financial system, and we are trying to work with leading companies and governments around the world to shape and build this new internet financial system.”
USDC is the second largest stablecoin after Tether’s USDT, with a issuance of $60 billion and a market share of about 25%. Tether strengthened its Bitcoin reserves this week with a $735 million purchase, and remains a clear industry leader in the market dominant 60%.
