Market Focus07-01 22:46

On July 1, Circle Internet Corp. rose 5.19% in regular trading, trading at approximately $63.82/share, with turnover of $653 million. The rebound followed a sharp 17.55% decline in the prior session triggered by the announcement of Open USD, a new stablecoin project backed by over 140 institutions including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, and Coinbase.

On the news front, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire personally authored a response addressing the competitive challenge posed by Open USD. William Blair issued a report supporting Circle, arguing the market overreacted to competition risks. Compass Point upgraded its rating on Circle from Sell to Neutral while adjusting its price target to $55. Additionally, Ark Invest purchased 52,455 shares of CRCL worth approximately $3.28 million during the prior session's selloff, signaling institutional confidence in the company's long-term value. The average analyst price target remains at $141.13 according to FactSet, suggesting significant upside from current levels.
