Circle’s Sky-High Debut Sparks Panic Selling Among Battle-Scarred Crypto Investors

Circle’s IPO Sparks Memories of Coinbase’s 2021 Debut as Shares Soar

Coinbase’s April 2021 IPO was a landmark event that coincided with one of Bitcoin’s most significant price peaks.

Now, many are wondering: is history repeating itself?

On Thursday, Circle (NYSE: CRCL), the issuer behind the USDC stablecoin, made a striking debut on the New York Stock Exchange. The company’s shares more than tripled from the initial offering price of $31, reflecting a surge of investor enthusiasm. This milestone capped years of anticipation and effort, as Circle had been preparing for its public listing for several years.

The dramatic price action has sparked comparisons to Coinbase’s debut, raising questions about whether the crypto market is entering a similar phase of excitement and volatility.
