Hot speculative take: Circle IPO will fail but they'll still go public when they're acquired by the DAAC SPAC:
- Circle IPO roadshow not going well and looks more unlikely by the day that it gets done/priced at $5b
- Digital Asset Acquisition corp is a fresh SPAC (funny timing) which just priced and started trading (DAAQ)
- Sole purpose of DAAC is to acquire a crypto company and is led by (drumroll) members of the team that previously attempted to acquire Circle in 2021 (see Concord Acquisition Corp)
- Team and board of the SPAC now include individuals with heavy crypto regulatory experience (BA, Aave, Polygon, Jito)
- Acquisition is win/win for both parties: solves the Circle's team desire for liquidity while giving sponsors good economics and a tailwind to ride post closing
- Makes all the fluffy product announcements (i.e. CPN) which are months away make sense
TLDR: old team that tried to SPAC Circle is about to run it back
(OO #325)
We really might be running it back. New S-1 filed to raise a $150m SPAC called Digital Asset Acquisition Corp.
Being spun up by members of the Concord Acquisition Corp team (SPAC I - tried to buy Circle, SPAC II - Events dot com, and SPAC III - GCT Semi)
Features Kristin Smith (BA), Rebecca Rettig (Aave, Polygon, Jito) + Thomas Trowbridge (Hedera + Fluence) on the board
Will be interesting to see if it gets done and what they end up acquiring if so. Wishing them the best of luck. And if you're retail, remember the $10 redemption price before participating in the secondary markets
