Circle Stock Climbs: CRCL Quadruples IPO Price as Bitcoin Regains
Circle's stock, trading under the ticker CRCL, has seen a significant surge following its IPO, reaching a peak of $123.51 shortly after launching on the New York Stock Exchange. This marks nearly a quadrupling of its initial price of $31 per share, highlighting strong investor interest. The stock's rise was also attributed to a corresponding rebound in Bitcoin prices, which surpassed $105,000. As of June 6, 2025, Circle has achieved a market capitalization of $21.7 billion. Analysts expressed caution about the stock's future, advising retail investors to wait for the typical post-IPO lockup period before purchasing, due to potential selling pressures from insiders. The company's revenue primarily derives from interest on cash reserves backing its stablecoins. Despite concerns, analysts are optimistic about the overall stability of the cryptocurrency market, underscored by proposed legislation aimed at regulating stablecoin issuers.
