Last week stablecoin issuer Circle formally launched its IPO to list on the New York Stock Exchange. It is now expanding the number of shares to be sold by a third – both new shares being issued by Circle and existing investors selling. Additionally, it is raising the price range from $24-$26 per share to $27-$28 per share, meaning $896 million in stock is being sold, valuing the company at $6.2 billion.
