Shh. It’s quiet time.

That’s the case for stablecoin issuer Circle and trading platform eToro, both of which have entered a mandatory quiet period after filing forms with the SEC declaring their respective intentions to launch an IPO.

Amid President Trump’s volatile global trade war, there’s been plenty of speculation over whether tech firms eager to go public will forge ahead amid tumbling markets. Circle and eToro wouldn’t comment on such plans when reached by Decrypt, given their quiet periods—so the chatter is likely to continue as they stay mum.
