Circle, the digital payments company behind USDC stablecoin, is proceeding with traditional IPO plans following its January SEC filing. CEO Jeremy Allaire cites strong financials and confirms no immediate need for additional capital as the company moves toward public markets.
With USDC’s market value reaching $35 billion, Circle holds the second position in the stablecoin market behind Tether’s USDT ($120 billion). The company’s stablecoin has gained traction in cross-border payments and is a stability tool for crypto traders.
While Allaire expresses confidence in stablecoin legislation passed this year to enhance traditional finance participation, challenges remain. Recent comments from Rep. Maxine Waters highlight ongoing political hurdles in achieving bipartisan agreement on stablecoin regulation, even as the industry pushes for clearer frameworks.
