Circle计划通过即将推出的首次公开募股（IPO）筹集高达6亿美元

此举将圈子定位为在纽约证券交易所公开以股票符号“ 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.

根据周三提交给美国证券交易委员会的更新，USDC Stablecoin背后的公司Circle计划通过即将推出的首次公开募股（IPO）筹集高达6亿美元。

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

此举将圈子定位为在纽约证券交易所公开以股票符号“ 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.

正如其修订后的S-1文件中所详述的那样，Circle打算提供其A类普通股的2400万股，其中960万股将由公司直接发行，而其余的1,440万将来自现任股东。

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

此外，承销商可以获得30天的选择，以购买额外的360万股股票以覆盖所有总体产品。

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.

预计股票的价格在24至26美元之间，但要受到现行市场状况的影响。虽然该产品尚未确定，但中点估计为25美元，而完全稀释的股票数量超过2.17亿美元，将重视约54.3亿美元。

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

该交易的主要承销商包括摩根大通，高盛和花旗集团的主要金融公司。

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按预期进行，Circle本身将从产品中净净额约2.4亿美元，而出售股东可能会获得约3.6亿美元。

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.

资产经理Ark Invest表示，尽管最终分配仍然不确定并且可能会发生变化，但在购买高达价值1.5亿美元的IPO股票的购买方面已表示无约束力的利息。

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申请不久之后，Circle公开否认与Coinbase和Ripple的收购会谈的谣言，这确认该公司不出售，并且仍然专注于自己的战略计划。

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

首席执行官杰里米·阿莱尔（Jeremy Allaire）表示，IPO标志着朝着更大的透明度和公共责任制的又一步。

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.

这不是公司首次公开尝试 - 先前的SPAC合并计划在去年的市场低迷中被削减了该公司的90亿美元。

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已成为流通中第二大的稳定股，市值为621亿美元。相比之下，Tether的USDT以2383亿美元的供应领导该行业。
