Aye Finance secured Rs 454.5 crore from 19 anchor investors before its IPO, selling shares at the top end of the Rs 122–129 band. The biggest allocations went to Nippon Life India and Goldman Sachs funds, each picking up roughly Rs 74 crore, according to Moneycontrol. The Gurugram-based lender, which counts Alphabet’s CapitalG among its backers, is heading for a public listing at a Rs 3,200 crore valuation—just below what it fetched in its 2025 Series G round—having cut the size of its offering, management told Mint. Investors are watching the deal closely, using it as a read on appetite for non-bank lenders, a sector where many players have been on the sidelines amid market turbulence and higher credit stress.

  • Circle Drops 15% After Open USD Stablecoin Reveal, Revenue Model in Focus
    June 30, 2026, 1:44 PM EDT. Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) dropped 15% to $64.55 after news hit about Open USD, a stablecoin from a group including Visa, Mastercard and Coinbase. Open USD brings free minting and redemption, no caps on volume, and a plan to split reserve earnings with partners-unlike Circle's USDC. The change put pressure on Circle's valuation, at about 23 cents for every USDC issued, with investors eyeing how reserve income gets distributed. BNY Mellon (NYSE:BNY) added more USDC custody, showing steady institutional demand but also more rivals in the space. Stablecoin issuers slid while payment networks and ETFs traded up. Circle logged $694 million in revenue and reserve income for Q1, with high costs keeping investors alert to shifts in stablecoin economics.
