Stablecoin Issuer Circle Scraps Plan to Go Public

Circle, the company behind stablecoin USDC, has terminated its agreement with special-purpose acquisition company Concord Acquisition Corp., thereby stepping back from its plan to go public. The stablecoin issuer had announced plans to go public in July 2021, with a valuation of $4.5 billion. The valuation was later doubled when the firms amended their terms in February. "The Hash" panel discusses what this means for the future of mainstream stablecoin adoption as crypto contagion continues to spread.
