Andrew Jeffrey has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Circle Internet Group’s potential in the evolving financial landscape. As the issuer of USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, Circle is poised to benefit significantly from the commercialization of stablecoins beyond the crypto sphere. The company’s business model, which involves generating yield from USDC and sharing a portion as distribution fees with partners, positions it as a high-quality player in the crypto infrastructure space.
Circle’s initiatives, such as the Circle Payment Network and the Arc blockchain, are critical components that support its growth in stablecoin infrastructure. These efforts are expected to transform cross-border B2B commerce by offering more efficient, low-risk, and programmable financial transactions compared to traditional fiat systems. The GENIUS Act, which provides regulatory clarity in the U.S., is seen as a major catalyst for USDC adoption. Despite potential risks like regulatory challenges and industry fragmentation, Andrew Jeffrey believes that Circle’s stock will grow into its valuation as USDC commercialization progresses.
In another report released on October 5, Seaport Global also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $280.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 50 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of CRCL in relation to earlier this year.
