Circle Guns for $624M IPO—Crypto’s Latest Bid for Wall Street Legitimacy
After years of regulatory tango and crypto winter survival, Circle—the force behind USDC—is finally punching its ticket to Nasdaq.
Wall Street or bust: The stablecoin giant’s filing reveals a $624 million ask, betting big on institutional appetite despite crypto’s ’wild west’ reputation.
Timing is everything: Comes as SEC chair Gensler keeps labeling most tokens as securities—but hey, who needs clarity when you’ve got audited reserves?
Bonus jab: Nothing says ’mature asset class’ like needing traditional IPO validation while preaching decentralization.
