Circe files for US IPOIn November 2023, Invezz highlighted Circle’s reported IPO plans, with indications being the USDC issuer would file in early 2024.
On January 11, Circle announced it had “confidentially submitted a draft registration” with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an IPO. The Form S-1 detailing the company’s quest to issue its equity securities to the public did not however indicate the number of shares targeted for the offer. The IPO’s price range is also not determined, Circle said in a press release.

The regulatory nod, in which details show SEC Chair Gary Gensler provided the swing vote, came after a 10-year wait. The first spot ETF application was made in 2013 by crypto exchange Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
