The Jeremy Allaire-led company has been trying to be published for almost 4 years. By 2021, Circle tried to be published through the acquisition of special purposes (SPAC), which later fell through.

In April, the company filed an S-1 form with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to be listed. However, it was later reported that the USDC missuer was looking to delay its IPO.
