#CryptoStocks Circle, the issuing company of the stablecoin USD Coin (USDC), has emerged as one of the protagonists of the crypto ecosystem in 2025, especially after its successful debut on the New York Stock Exchange on June 5. Its stock, under the ticker CRCL, has multiplied its value by more than six times since its initial public offering, driven by the approval in the United States Senate of the GENIUS Act (Act to Guide and Establish National Innovation in Stablecoins).

The GENIUS Act represents a regulatory milestone by establishing a clear legal framework for stablecoins issued in the U.S., requiring backing in dollars or liquid assets and annual audits for issuers with more than 50 billion dollars in circulation. Circle, having met these requirements since its inception, has been perceived as the major beneficiary of this legislation, which has boosted investor confidence and the value of its shares.

Circle's involvement in stock markets marks a turning point: for the first time, a company native to the crypto world positions itself as a regulated and competitive player on Wall Street. Its success has encouraged other companies like Kraken and Ripple to consider their own public offerings, while tech giants like Amazon and Google explore the launch of payment tokens.

In this context, Circle not only consolidates its leadership as an issuer of stablecoins but also redefines the relationship between traditional finance and digital assets. Its role in implementing the GENIUS Act could be key for the United States to become the global epicenter of blockchain-based financial innovation. If Congress ratifies the law, Circle would be at the forefront of a new regulated and expansive era for cryptocurrencies.
