Top Analyst Initiates Buy Rating on Circle Stock (CRCL) Amid Regulatory Tailwinds
Circle Internet Financial (CRCL), the issuer of USDC stablecoin, has surged 550% since its June 5 IPO at $31, buoyed by regulatory clarity from the GENIUS Act. Seaport Global's Jeff Cantwell initiated coverage with a $235 price target, calling Circle a "top-tier crypto disruptor" positioned for long-term dominance in stablecoin adoption.
USDC's growth trajectory aligns with global regulatory acceptance of stablecoins, Cantwell notes. The analyst expects accelerating institutional adoption as jurisdictions establish clearer frameworks—a trend likely to benefit Circle disproportionately given its first-mover advantage in compliant digital dollar offerings.
