Circle's Stock Soars Post-IPO Approaching Coinbase
Circle Internet Group went public just weeks ago, and its stock, trading as CRCL, has seen a rapid increase, reaching $270 per share, marking a 600% rise since its IPO at $31 per share on June 5. The market cap reached over $77 billion, surpassing its own stablecoin USDC and matching Coinbase. Experts question the valuation, noting that despite overarching market enthusiasm, pragmatic fundamentals differ. The GENIUS Act passed by the U.S. Senate could provide stronger federal regulations for stablecoins. Both Circle and Coinbase benefited from the recent legislative developments. Investors are closely watching the legislative progress and potential outcomes.
