BREAKING: Circle IPO Share Price Upscaled After BlackRock Shows Interest

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-06-02Última atualização em 2025-06-02

Since institutional investors showed so much interest, Circle, the USDC stablecoin issuer, adjusted its plans for its initial public offering (IPO) by upsizing the number of shares and boosting the price range. The fintech firm has now informed regulators it would like to offer 32 million shares of its Class A common stock, instead of the 24 million it planned before.

Revised Circle IPO Share Price Details

The firm also moved up its price range from $24–$26 per share to $27–$28 per share, according to the amended Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The move reflects mounting demand ahead of the company’s anticipated IPO pricing on June 4.

BlackRock is said to be looking at investing in the offering, according to sources. The asset manager could purchase close to 10% of the offered shares. Circle’s progress is highlighted by BlackRock’s participation, although how they are investing has not been shared.

Circle’s relationship with BlackRock is strong because the investment firm oversees the Circle Reserve Fund which contains most of the U.S. dollar reserves that are needed to back the USDC stablecoin. As of data on April 30, 2024, the fund’s assets totaled nearly $30 billion.

Investor enthusiasm appears robust, with early indications showing demand could outstrip the available supply. Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, is also considering a substantial participation, with plans to invest up to $150 million, according to initial regulatory disclosures. If priced at the top end of the new range, the IPO could value Circle at around $6 billion.

Bitcoin’s ‘next major buying opportunity’ forms in Q4 – Former NASA researcher explains why!

Bitcoin's price rose 2.32% to $64,380.20, yet failed to breach the $80k resistance level from mid-May. While technical indicators like RSI and MACD suggest continued bullish momentum, on-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals a mixed picture. The market appears to be in a transitional phase, with U.S. investor caution evident through $10 billion in ETF outflows since October 2025 and a persistently negative Coinbase Premium. However, new large investors (whales) are accumulating BTC, absorbing selling pressure and potentially preventing steeper declines. Analyst Benjamin Cowen and others remain optimistic, pointing to historical cycles. One analyst cites a 4-year cycle model, suggesting Q4 2026 could present the next major buying opportunity, with significant potential gains in 2027. Another analyst, Adam Livingston, notes Bitcoin is currently trading only 19.2% above its realized price—well below the historical average premium of 81.9%—and that similar past valuations have led to substantial medium-term returns. Overall, despite weak short-term sentiment and a lack of new capital inflows, the community anticipates a strong future trajectory for Bitcoin based on cyclical patterns and current undervaluation.

Steady buying pressure puts ZCash’s $500 breakout in focus

ZCash (ZEC) is making another attempt to break the key psychological resistance level of $500, supported by strong buying pressure evidenced by a 51.5% surge in daily trading volume and a 17.16% increase in Open Interest. The token has gained 7.04% in the past 24 hours, continuing an upward move that began after testing the $370 area as support in late June. On the 1-day chart, the $500-$530 zone is a critical supply/demand area. The overall price structure remains bullish, with a bearish reversal only confirmed if the price closes below the key swing low of $299.6. The longer-term weekly chart also supports a bullish bias, as the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $176.78 was successfully defended during a recent correction. Technical indicators like the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Awesome Oscillator reinforce this positive momentum. However, traders are advised to be cautiously optimistic. While a higher low was formed at $368, the 4-hour chart structure is still bearish. Major overhead resistances at $560 (the 78.6% retracement of a recent swing) and $644 (a local swing high) pose significant obstacles. A break above $644 is needed to confirm a continued uptrend. Until these levels are reclaimed, bulls should remain wary of potential rejections despite the prevailing bullish bias on higher timeframes.

Why former Bank of America strategist sees an Ethereum ‘tactical bottom’

Stephen Suttmeier, former Bank of America strategist, identifies a potential "tactical bottom" for Ethereum (ETH), contingent on the price holding above $1690-$1700 and reclaiming $1800. A decisive move above $1800, turning the 50-day moving average into support, could target the 200-day MA near $2200, implying a 25% upside. This technical view finds some support from other analysts and a double-bottom pattern on the daily chart. However, on-chain data shows significant headwinds. Exchange selling pressure has surged, with over 220K ETH moved to exchanges recently, and whale selling persists. Furthermore, U.S. spot ETH ETFs, after days of inflows, recorded a $52 million net outflow due to macro risks like U.S.-Iran tensions and bond market volatility. In summary, while technicals suggest a bullish reversal is possible if ETH sustains above $1800, sustained selling pressure and macroeconomic risks threaten to invalidate the optimistic "tactical bottom" thesis.

Injective software package hit by malicious supply chain attack – Details

In a software supply chain attack, malicious actors compromised the Injective Labs TypeScript SDK (@injectivelabs/sdk-ts v1.20.21) by uploading a tainted version to the npm registry. The attackers gained access to a legitimate contributor's GitHub account to distribute malicious commits. The compromised package, disguised as a routine update, contained malware that activated only when developers used specific wallet generation functions, stealing private keys and mnemonic seed phrases. This breach impacted approximately 50,000 weekly downloads and spread through transitive dependencies in 17 other Injective packages. While a clean version (v1.20.23) was later released, the malicious package remained accessible. Affected users are advised to rotate credentials, create new wallets, and move their funds.

After Aave's Exit and TVL's Sharp Fluctuation, Where Does MegaETH's Valuation Anchor Lie?

Following the withdrawal of Aave and a sharp drop in its Total Value Locked (TVL), the valuation of the high-performance DeFi blockchain MegaETH faces scrutiny. Once a highly anticipated project with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) reaching around $2 billion, MegaETH saw its TVL plummet from a May peak of $245 million to just over $30 million in July, a roughly 70% decline. Its native token, MEGA, currently trades around $0.048 with a market cap of approximately $54 million and an FDV of about $480 million. The report identifies a core vulnerability: MegaETH's TVL was heavily dependent on a single protocol, Aave V3, which at its peak contributed around 90% of the chain's TVL. A significant portion of this capital is attributed to leveraged yield-farming strategies involving stablecoins like USDe. When the profitability of these strategies diminished, capital rapidly exited, exposing the lack of diversified, sustainable activity. Three key mismatches between MegaETH's valuation and its fundamentals are highlighted: 1. **Valuation vs. Real Usage:** With an FDV of ~$4.8B but only ~$1M in annualized protocol revenue and ~2,600 daily active addresses, the valuation appears disconnected from current economic activity. 2. **Token Narrative vs. Ecosystem Reality:** Despite its DeFi narrative, nearly 80% of the chain's recent protocol revenue comes from a trading card game, Monster, not from core DeFi applications like Aave. The chain's native stablecoin, USDM, also shows low trading volume and a declining market cap. 3. **Short-Term Hype vs. Long-Term Delivery:** Initial hype from token generation, blue-chip integrations, and influencer support has faded. Major protocols like Uniswap now hold minimal TVL on the chain, indicating that early capital was largely transient and driven by incentives rather than organic demand. The situation reflects a broader market trend where investors are becoming less tolerant of valuations based on inflated TVL and narrative, demanding clearer evidence of sustainable transactions, revenue, and ecosystem development. While MEGA's price may experience short-term rebounds from market sentiment, a fundamental re-rating likely depends on the team's ability to convert its remaining resources into tangible, user-retaining applications and genuine ecosystem growth.
