Grayscale Submits Confidential IPO Filing With SEC.

Cryptocurrency-focused asset manager and exchange-traded fund issuer Grayscale said on Monday that it had filed to list its company shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a new clause that enables confidential filings ahead of a final public offering.

Grayscale’s filing comes over a month after Circle, the issuer of the world’s second-largest stablecoin USDC, upsized its IPO to over $1.05 billion and debuted on the New York Stock Exchange on June 5.
