Circle Debuts on NYSE After Exceeding IPO Target

Circle, the company behind USDC, the world’s second-largest stablecoin with a $61.5 billion market cap, successfully debuted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker CRCL on June 5, 2025. The initial public offering (IPO) raised $1.05 billion by selling 34 million shares at $31 each, valuing Circle at $6.9 billion (fully diluted at $8.1 billion). 

Backed by heavyweights like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, Circle’s 2024 revenue of $1.7 billion underscores its financial strength. This landmark IPO, one of the largest in crypto since Coinbase’s 2021 listing, is set to accelerate mainstream stablecoin adoption, enhance regulatory clarity, and solidify USDC's role in DeFi and global payments.

Following its market debut, Cathie Wood’s ARK Investment plans to invest up to $150 million in Circle stock.

BlackRock Buys $50M Worth of Ethereum

BlackRock, a global financial titan, has purchased approximately $50 million worth of Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham. Data shared on X revealed multiple transactions via Coinbase Prime, ranging from 9,000 to 58,000 ETH, valued between $23 million and $61 million. Charts showed rising Ethereum balances and profits, hinting at a strategic move by BlackRock to deepen its cryptocurrency exposure.

This significant investment underscores growing corporate interest in digital assets, sparking speculation about BlackRock’s motives. Some suggest the firm may be acting on privileged market insights, while others see it as preparation for regulatory shifts or potential business ventures in the crypto space. Regardless, BlackRock’s bold step into Ethereum reflects a broader trend of institutional adoption, signaling confidence in the asset’s future despite the market’s volatility.
