Circle Priced the original public offer (IPO) Wednesday to $ 31 per Share over the expected range from $ 24 to $ 26.
The company sold about 34 million shares in the offer for a valuation of $ 1.1 billion. Bloomberg breaks the total amount collected in the IPO to $ 6.2 billion.
Circle initially planned to offer only 24 million A shares, with 9.6 million coming from the company itself and the rest from the early stakeholders. But as demand increased, ballooned the original amount more than 10 times the original amount.

“We have broad consensus on the content of this stablecoin law,” he said. “This will, I think, take us into the 21st century in terms of upgrading our payment systems … because every one of these stablecoins will be backed up dollars for dollar with US Treasury.”
