Circle Internet Group Inc. and some of its shareholders raised nearly $1.1 billion in an upsized initial public offering that was priced above a marketed range, in a sign that stablecoin issuers are winning greater acceptance.

Circle, the issuer of the popular USDC stablecoin, has launched its initial public offering, looking to raise about $624 million at a $5.65 billion valuation.

Circle Internet Group, the crypto firm that tried to go public in 2021 but ended up pulling its deal, will finally enter the public equities market. Late Wednesday, Circle raised $1.05 billion in one of the most anticipated IPOs of the year.
