Circle, the company behind the popular USDC stablecoin, is gearing up for a major initial public offering (IPO) in April. This time, they’ve got some heavyweight backing.
Banking Giants Join the Party
According to reports, banking giants JPMorgan Chase and Citi are partnering with Circle for its IPO. These banks previously advised Coinbase before its own public listing. This suggests a significant level of confidence in Circle’s prospects.
The IPO Details
Circle plans to file the necessary paperwork for the IPO later in April. This follows an earlier attempt to go public that was abandoned after the FTX collapse in 2022. If successful, this could be the biggest crypto IPO since Coinbase’s debut in 2021.
USDC: A Stablecoin Giant
USDC, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, is the second-largest stablecoin globally, boasting a market cap exceeding $53 billion. Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, has previously expressed his belief that US dollar-pegged stablecoins could become a major global export for the United States. He sees them as crucial in maintaining the dollar’s dominance in a world increasingly embracing digital currencies.
