Movement Alert|Circle Rises 5.22% in Regular Trading, Partners with Nomura Securities to Expand Japan Stablecoin Settlement Market

Market Focus06-26

On June 26, Circle Internet Corp. rose 5.22% in regular trading, trading at $73.84/share, with turnover of $286 million.

On the news front, stablecoin issuer Circle announced a partnership with Japanese financial giant Nomura Securities to enable USDC-based instant foreign currency settlement for Japanese enterprises as early as 2027. The collaboration aims to reduce traditional cross-border transfer and forex clearing times from days to minutes, targeting Japan's $440 billion daily forex market.

The partnership marks the first entry of a major stablecoin issuer into Japan's enterprise transaction market, significantly expanding USDC's use cases and potential market scale. Under the plan, enterprises will be able to convert Japanese yen into dollar-denominated stablecoins for investment and instant transfers, facilitating cross-border investment and trade.

Notably, the stock had previously declined approximately 29% in June amid regulatory uncertainty surrounding the U.S. CLARITY Act, competition from Japanese banks planning their own stablecoin, and executive share sales. Today's partnership news appears to have reversed near-term bearish sentiment.
