Circle’s Upcoming IPO As CryptoPotato reported previously, the company filed for an IPO with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) back in April. Operating the world’s second-largest stablecoin by means of total market capitalization, Circle also posted impressive revenue reports. The firm posted steadily increasing revenue (up 16% year over year) but decreasing EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) and net income. Back then, Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, said in a letter to investors: “For Circle, becoming a publicly traded corporation on the NYSE is a continuation of our desire to operate with the greatest transparency and accountability possible,” said Allaire, who added: “We are building what we believe to be critical infrastructure for the financial system, and we seek to work with leading companies and governments around the world in shaping and building this new internet financial system.” At the time of this writing, there is no further information on the details of the initial public offering.
