After plans to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) fell through in late 2022, crypto company Circle Financial, is once again generating IPO buzz. In January 2024, Circle — the company behind the second largest stablecoin USDC — announced that it confidentially filed an S-1 with the SEC to go public.
On May 27, 2025, Circle Internet Group Inc., said it was targeting a nearly $6 billion dollar valuation in its anticipated New York IPO, as the stablecoin giant looks to tap into growing optimism around cryptocurrency. This move represents a significant moment for the cryptocurrency industry, as Circle may soon become a major crypto-native company to enter the public market.
