Circle Kicks Off IPO at $6–7 Billion Valuation, Choosing Public Listing Over Takeover

Circle, the global stablecoin powerhouse behind USDC, has launched its IPO, aiming for a $6–7 billion valuation—opting for a public debut after reports of takeover interest from Ripple and Coinbase.

As a dominant player in the fast-growing stablecoin market, Circle issues USDC and EURC, powering digital payments and commerce worldwide. The IPO will see 24 million shares of Class A common stock offered at an expected price of $24–$26 per share, with Circle applying to list under the ticker ‘CRCL’ on the NYSE.

Circle’s decision to go public follows industry buzz about potential acquisition bids from Ripple and Coinbase, underscoring the strategic importance of stablecoins in global finance. Instead, Circle is doubling down on its vision to lead the sector independently.

Recently, Circle expanded its influence by launching a new payment network with major partners, making stablecoin transactions faster and more accessible for businesses globally. This move cements Circle’s reputation as an innovator, as the stablecoin market surges past $230 billion in supply and becomes a cornerstone of the digital economy.
