Circle denies blaming SEC for shuttered $9B plan to go public

A spokesperson for USD Coin (USDC) issuer Circle has denied reports that it blames the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its failed $9 billion plan to go public in December.

The stablecoin issuer representative was responding to a Jan. 25 Financial Times article that characterized Circle as having “blamed” the securities regulator for its “derailed” listing by dragging its feet on the approval of a merger agreement

However, a Circle spokesperson clarified to Cointelegraph that was not the case and that it doesn’t hold any blame over the SEC for the termination of its merger agreement.

“Circle has not and does not blame the SEC for anything related to the mutual termination of our SPAC merger agreement with Concord, and any statements to the contrary are inaccurate.”

Circle’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was pegged on them being able to combine with Concord, a company set up by banker Bob Diamond via a Special Purpose Acquisition Company arrangement, also known as a SPAC deal.

However, according to the FT, Circle said the merger failed to be consummated as a result of the SEC not declaring the related S-4 registration effective in time, which would cause the agreement to lapse on Dec. 10.

Circle’s spokesperson, however, referred to previous statements made by the company in December, noting that “the deal simply termed out.”

Concord had not publicly disclosed a reason for the failed business combination, but filed an 8-K form with the SEC on Dec. 5  — the same day the deal was announced as terminated — which revealed that it was being delisted by the NYSE due to “abnormally low trading price levels.”

Indeed, in a Dec. 5 tweet, Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire had nothing but positive words regarding the SEC and noted that while it was disappointing that they were unable to complete qualifications in time it was still planning on becoming a publicly listed company.

2/ From my perspective, I believe that the SEC has been rigorous and thorough in understanding our business and many novel aspects of this industry. This kind of review is necessary to ultimately provide trust, transparency and accountability for major companies in crypto.

— Jeremy Allaire (@jerallaire) December 5, 2022

As Cointelegraph had previously reported, the deal was first announced in July 2021 at a valuation of $4.5 billion, before doubling last February, when it was revised up to $9 billion.
