BREAKING: Bernstein Predicts 70% Surge for Circle ($CRCL) as USDC Adoption Skyrockets

Bernstein Soc Gen has issued a bullish forecast for Circle (CRCL), projecting a 70% upside for the stock amid surging demand for its USDC stablecoin. The firm cites an imminent stablecoin boom, fueled by accelerating adoption in AI applications and cross-border payment technologies, as the primary catalyst for the expected rally.

Will CRCL Jump To $190?

Bernstein has issued a significant stock rating for Circle Internet Financial stock, the issuer of the famous USDC stablecoin. The firm believes the rising usage of stablecoins in the domains of AI and blockchain-based transactions can be a gamechanger for the CRCL stock. Moreover, as demand for digital dollars and AI agentic payments continues to evolve, CRCL stock may eventually end up on the high radar, touching $190 in the near future, per Bernstein.

The rising signs of rapid AI evolution are now penetrating deep into the mainstream finance sector. The rise of AI agents and rapid evolution of conducting payments through such agents is one of the core theses of Bernstein, stating how this may popularize the usage of stablecoins at a whole new level, including fueling USDC’s role beyond crypto.

Stablecoins On The Rise

Stablecoins have now become a leading financial tool as demand for blockchain-based transactions continues to intensify. Industry experts such as Binance’s Changpeng Zhao and Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong have both shared a similar stance on AI agents and their ability to independently conduct financial transactions in which stablecoins may end up playing a leading role.

THE NEXT BUYERS OF CRYPTO MAY NOT BE HUMAN

Brian Armstrong just highlighted a shift most of the market is still underestimating.

At Coinbase, AI agents are now writing 50%+ of the code and handling about 60% of customer support. Automation is already deeply embedded.
