Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, plans to shift its legal base from the Republic of Ireland to the United States. This move comes as Circle prepares for an initial public offering (IPO), for which it confidentially filed paperwork with the SEC in January. The company has not disclosed the specific reasons behind the relocation, but it is expected to face more onerous taxes in the U.S. Circle recently burned 100m $USDC on Ethereum in two transactions. Circle's decision to move its headquarters is seen as a strategic step to become the second registered and regulated stablecoin issuer in the U.S., following PayPal.
