📈 Circle is experiencing a phenomenal rise on Wall Street. Since its debut, the company’s stock has surged by over 900% in just three weeks. On Monday alone, shares skyrocketed to $300, despite major investor Cathie Wood selling a portion of her holdings.

Ark Invest Sells, Circle Keeps Climbing
Even after Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sold more than 415,000 CRCL shares across three ETFs — worth over $110 million — the momentum did not slow down. Circle’s stock gained 20% intraday, eventually closing at $260.54, up 9.62% on the day. Its market capitalization has now hit $54 billion, surpassing even its own stablecoin, USDC.
The recent ceasefire announcement between Iran and Israel also helped boost investor confidence, pushing the broader market up by about 1%.

Circle IPO Sparks Institutional FOMO
Circle’s blockbuster IPO is now turning heads across traditional finance. According to Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Invest:
“Circle’s IPO is changing how mainstream investors view the crypto industry. 2025 is the start of crypto’s mainstream era.”
Other major crypto companies — such as OKX and Gemini — are reportedly preparing to follow Circle’s path with IPOs later this year.

VanEck Goes Big on CRCL
Asset manager VanEck has significantly increased its holdings in Circle. CEO Matthew Sigel revealed that VanEck now owns a larger stake than Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire.
On X, Sigel wrote:
“$CRCL is now our largest position at 13% of the $MVDAPP index, with additional positions in our active strategies. We now hold more shares than CEO Jeremy Allaire.”

Cathie Wood Cashes In, Still Holds Big
This is not Ark Invest’s first sell-off. Earlier last week, the firm offloaded a major chunk of its CRCL holdings. Nevertheless, Ark still holds 3.8 million shares, remaining one of the biggest institutional backers.
Ark originally invested $376 million in CRCL during its IPO week when shares traded under $100. With current prices, that investment has now tripled in value.

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has sold off $109.6 million worth of Circle (CRCL) shares, capitalizing on the stablecoin issuer’s continued stock surge following its highly anticipated IPO earlier this month.According to the firm’s latest trade filing, 415,844 shares of Circle were offloaded across three of Ark’s ETFs on Monday:
ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK): 306,921 sharesARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW): 72,302 sharesARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF): 36,621 shares
The timing of the sale coincided with CRCL’s third consecutive day of gains, closing Monday up 9.6% at $263.45, with an additional 2.7% gain in after-hours trading, according to data from Yahoo Finance. Circle’s market capitalization soared past $68.9 billion, briefly overtaking Coinbase and USDC’s circulating market cap.
Circle IPO Turns into One of 2025’s Biggest Breakouts
Circle made its public debut on the New York Stock Exchange on June 5, launching with an upsized $1.1 billion IPO priced at just $31 per share. Since then, the stock has surged nearly 600%, delivering staggering returns to early investors, including Ark Invest, which had previously bought 4.48 million shares on listing day.
Stablecoin Legislation Fuels Investor Confidence
Much of Circle’s stock momentum in recent days is attributed to regulatory tailwinds. The U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act, a landmark stablecoin framework bill, now under review by the House of Representatives.
President Donald Trump publicly urged lawmakers to accelerate the bill’s passage, stating he wants it on his desk “as soon as possible.” The act is seen as a green light for stablecoin issuers and has boosted sentiment across the crypto sector.
Ark Shuffles Holdings: Bets on Robinhood and Coinbase
Even as Ark exited a large portion of its Circle position, it reallocated capital into other fintech stocks:
ARKK acquired 319,640 shares of Robinhood, worth $24.4 millionARKW and ARKF bought 4,198 shares of Coinbase, valued at approximately $1.3 million
Both Robinhood and Coinbase have seen heightened trading volume and investor interest amid the broader crypto market recovery and IPO momentum.
The Nasdaq Composite closed up 0.94%, while the Dow Jones rose 0.89%, adding fuel to the day’s bullish activity.
Final Thoughts: Profit-Taking or Strategic Rotation?
Ark Invest’s selloff may represent a classic case of profit-taking after parabolic gains, but it also reflects a broader sector bet on regulated digital finance infrastructure. While Ark reduces exposure to Circle after a historic IPO performance, its positions in Robinhood and Coinbase suggest ongoing confidence in platforms driving crypto adoption at scale.
