Circle’s Valuation Tops $63B, Exceeding USDC Supply
Circle's market cap surged to $63.89B, outpacing the $61.68B USDC supply, as shares closed at $263.45 after nearing $300.
- Circle’s valuation now exceeds the USDC stablecoin supply.
- USDC circulating supply is currently $61.68 billion.
- Circle stock briefly neared $300 before closing at $263.45.
Circle, the company behind the popular USDC stablecoin, made headlines after its market capitalization rose to $63.89 billion by the close of Monday’s trading. This impressive figure has now outpaced the total circulating supply of USDC, which stands at approximately $61.68 billion.
The increase in valuation signals strong investor confidence in Circle’s broader business strategy beyond stablecoin issuance. The company’s growing ecosystem, which includes partnerships, infrastructure development, and regulatory strides, likely contributes to this rising market cap.
Stock Hits Intraday Peak Near $300
Circle’s shares experienced significant intraday movement, briefly approaching the $300 mark. However, the stock settled at $263.45 by the close. This volatility may reflect investor optimism about Circle’s future revenue streams and its position in the evolving digital finance sector.
This development places Circle among the rare crypto-related firms whose valuation exceeds the volume of its primary product—in this case, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. It could also indicate that market participants are assigning value to Circle’s potential future growth beyond just USDC.
What This Means for the Stablecoin Market
The fact that Circle’s market cap now surpasses the USDC supply could mark a pivotal moment in the stablecoin industry. It reflects growing recognition that infrastructure providers in the digital asset space have value independent of the assets they manage.
As regulatory clarity increases and demand for trusted digital dollars grows, Circle may continue to benefit from both market and institutional tailwinds.
