š Circle (CRCL) Just Blew the Roof Off Wall Street ā and Crypto May Never Be the Same
Well, that escalated quickly.
Circle (ticker: CRCL), the company behind USDC (aka the second-largest stablecoin on the planet), just torched its previous record ā jumping 34% in a single day to a new all-time high. Why the pump? The U.S. Senate just passed the GENIUS Act, a landmark piece of crypto legislation that could finally bring stablecoin regulation into the real-deal mainstream.
š¼ Whatās the GENIUS Act and Why Should You Care?
The GENIUS Act isnāt just a fancy acronym ā it's the kind of bill that makes crypto go from āwild westā to āWall Street-ready.ā It:
Requires 1:1 backing for stablecoins (i.e., real cash or Treasuries),
Introduces licensing and transparency requirements,
And gives legit players like Circle a massive regulatory edge.
In other words: no more sketchy stablecoin games. This is grown-up money now.
š Circleās IPO Was Wild ā This Is Wilder
In case you missed it, Circle IPOād earlier this month at $31. It opened at $69 and just kept climbing. Today? It closed around $199.59 ā thatās over 6x the IPO price. š
Safe to say, this isnāt just another crypto flash-in-the-pan. Wall Street is watching ā and they like what they see.
š® Whatās Next?
With Circle pulling off one of the biggest post-IPO runs in years, the floodgates might just be opening:
Coinbase, Robinhood, and other crypto-adjacent stocks surged on the same news.
Startups like Fireblocks and Chainalysis are rumored to be prepping IPO paperwork.
And crypto finally feels like itās stepping out of the shadows ā and into the suits-and-ties spotlight.
Circle just gave the public markets their first real taste of compliant, scalable, regulation-friendly crypto ā and investors are eating it up. The GENIUS Act may have just rewritten the playbook for how crypto grows up in America.
