Stablecoin company Circle says the SEC is to blame for its failure to go public.
The company told the Financial Times in an interview published today that its $9 billion deal was called off last year not because of the turbulent cryptocurrency market, but because the SEC had not approved it.

Circle is a global financial technology firm that enables businesses of all sizes to harness the power of digital currencies and public blockchains for payments, commerce and financial applications worldwide. Reqd more.
