Circle計劃通過即將推出的首次公開募股（IPO）籌集高達6億美元

此舉將圈子定位為在紐約證券交易所公開以股票符號“ CRCL”。

Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, is planning to raise up to $600 million through its upcoming initial public offering (IPO), according to an update submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.

根據周三提交給美國證券交易委員會的更新，USDC Stablecoin背後的公司Circle計劃通過即將推出的首次公開募股（IPO）籌集高達6億美元。

This move positions Circle to go public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CRCL."

此舉將圈子定位為在紐約證券交易所公開以股票符號“ CRCL”。

As detailed in its amended S-1 filing, Circle intends to offer 24 million shares of its Class A common stock, of which 9.6 million will be issued directly by the company, while the remaining 14.4 million will come from current shareholders.

正如其修訂後的S-1文件中所詳述的那樣，Circle打算提供其A類普通股的2400萬股，其中960萬股將由公司直接發行，而其餘的1,440萬將來自現任股東。

Moreover, underwriters may be granted a 30-day option to purchase an extra 3.6 million shares to cover any overallotments.

此外，承銷商可以獲得30天的選擇，以購買額外的360萬股股票以覆蓋所有總體產品。

The shares are expected to be priced between $24 and $26, subject to prevailing market conditions. While the offering is yet to be finalized, a midpoint estimate of $25 and a fully diluted share count of over 217 million would value Circle at approximately $5.43 billion.

預計股票的價格在24至26美元之間，但要受到現行市場狀況的影響。雖然該產品尚未確定，但中點估計為25美元，而完全稀釋的股票數量超過2.17億美元，將重視約54.3億美元。

Lead underwriters on the deal include major financial firms JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

該交易的主要承銷商包括摩根大通，高盛和花旗集團的主要金融公司。

If the IPO proceeds as projected, Circle itself would net roughly $240 million from the offering, while selling shareholders could receive around $360 million.

如果IPO按預期進行，Circle本身將從產品中淨淨額約2.4億美元，而出售股東可能會獲得約3.6億美元。

Asset manager ARK Invest has expressed non-binding interest in purchasing up to $150 million worth of the IPO shares, though the final allocation remains uncertain and subject to change.

資產經理Ark Invest表示，儘管最終分配仍然不確定並且可能會發生變化，但在購買高達價值1.5億美元的IPO股票的購買方面已表示無約束力的利息。

The IPO filing comes shortly after Circle publicly denied rumors of acquisition talks with Coinbase and Ripple, affirming that the company is not for sale and remains focused on its own strategic plans.

IPO申請不久之後，Circle公開否認與Coinbase和Ripple的收購會談的謠言，這確認該公司不出售，並且仍然專注於自己的戰略計劃。

CEO Jeremy Allaire has stated that the IPO marks another step toward greater transparency and public accountability for Circle.

首席執行官傑里米·阿萊爾（Jeremy Allaire）表示，IPO標誌著朝著更大的透明度和公共責任制的又一步。

This isn't the company's first attempt at going public - a prior SPAC merger plan, which would have valued the firm at $9 billion, was scuttled during the market downturn last year.

這不是公司首次公開嘗試 - 先前的SPAC合併計劃在去年的市場低迷中被削減了該公司的90億美元。

Today, Circle's USDC is the second-largest stablecoin in circulation, boasting a market capitalization of $62.1 billion. In comparison, Tether's USDT leads the sector with $238.3 billion in supply.

如今，Circle的USDC已成為流通中第二大的穩定股，市值為621億美元。相比之下，Tether的USDT以2383億美元的供應領導該行業。
