Circle’s IPO Ignites Market Buzz, Echoing Coinbase’s 2021 Surge
Coinbase’s April 2021 public offering marked a pivotal moment for Bitcoin, coinciding with a peak in crypto enthusiasm.
Fast forward to June 2025, and Circle (NYSE: CRCL) is making waves with its own blockbuster debut. The stablecoin issuer saw its shares skyrocket, more than tripling from the $31 IPO price on its first day of trading. This achievement marks the culmination of a long journey for Circle, which had been aiming for a public listing for several years.
As investors flock to Circle’s stock, questions arise: Are we witnessing a repeat of 2021’s crypto market frenzy? The parallels are hard to ignore as market watchers consider the potential implications for the broader digital asset ecosystem.
