J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are acting as joint lead active bookrunners for the offering. The stablecoin giant will trade under the ticker 'CRCL."
The Jeremy Allaire-led firm has been trying to go public for almost 4 years. In 2021, Circle tried to go public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which later fell through.
In April, the firm filed for an S-1 form with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to get listed. However, it was later reported that the USDC-issuer was looking to delay its IPO.
Last week, Fortune reported that Circle also explored a $5 billion sale instead of going through the IPO route. It was also reported that listed crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) and payments firm Ripple, which also has its RLUSD stablecoin, were among the suitors.
