Circle officially submitted paperwork for its IPO on April 1, aiming for a listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the ticker "CRCL." The company is reportedly hoping to achieve a valuation of $4 to $5 billion with the IPO.

Circle于4月1日正式提交了其IPO的文书工作，旨在与股票“ CRCL”上纽约证券交易所（NYSE）上市。据报道，该公司希望通过IPO实现4至50亿美元的估值。

Despite generating revenue of $1.68 billion in 2024, Circle's net income and EBITDA declined last year. This has led to concerns about high operational costs and slowing growth at the company.

尽管在2024年产生了16.8亿美元的收入，但Circle的净收入和EBITDA去年下降。这引起了人们对高运营成本和公司增长放缓的担忧。

The offer from Ripple comes amid a broader wave of dealmaking in the crypto industry as token prices recover and firms prepare for public listings.

Moreover, Charles Eisenstein, a writer and speaker known for his work on economics, culture, and spirituality, penned an opinion piece warning against the "unfolding catastrophe" of a new Bretton Woods system. Eisenstein argued that the existing system is failing, leading to a search for alternatives.

Finally, Bullish Global, a cryptocurrency trading firm backed by hedge fund giant Point72, is also considering an IPO and could apply to list as early as this quarter, according to two people familiar with the matter.
