Circle’s Frenzied Trading Debut Boosts Crypto IPO Prospects

The stablecoin issuer’s first time share sale exceeded all expectations, pricing the upsized deal above an increased range and and ultimately drawing north of 20 times the orders for the number of shares available, Bloomberg News has reported. Its stock more than tripled soon after trading began.
