Circle IPO delivers 4x return for Sigil Fund

Sigil Fund is betting on stablecoins and says Circle is the only investment on the market that enables it to do so. Stablecoins are becoming mainstream, according to Sigil Fund, an early backer of Circle. On Tuesday, June 10, Sigil Fund shared details of its investment in the USDC stablecoin issuer. The financial firm told investors it had already achieved a 4x return on its $5 billion pre-initial public offering investment. “Sigil Core invested in Circle in July 2024, well before its public debut. On IPO day alone, this position delivered a +9% gain to the fund’s NAV — and the total return has now reached ~4x within a year,” Sigil Fund. The Circle IPO was wildly successful, highlighting that traditional investors have an appetite for crypto businesses. The company began trading on June 4 with a share price of $31. By June 10, it was trading at $115.25, marking a 271% price increase in less than a week.
