Circle (CRCL) Soars 168% in NYSE Debut, Closes at $83 per Share

Circle’s NYSE Debut Surges as Stablecoin Volumes Hit New Highs Amid Investor Watch

  • Circle shares closed at $83 on the first day of trading, after an initial public offering at $31.
  • The stock reached a high of $104 and opened at $69 during its debut on the New York Stock Exchange.
  • Investors are watching whether Circle can maintain its value, referencing volatility seen in other crypto stock listings like Coinbase.
  • Trading volumes for USDC rose 22% over the past day, while rival Tether’s USDT also gained 13% in volume.
  • The growth in stablecoin activity may signal rising investor interest as traditional and digital finance intersect.

Shares of Circle opened at $69 and briefly surged to $104 before settling at the session close. Market analysts noted that the next few days and weeks would be important to see if the company can keep its gains.

The performance of Circle is being compared to the 2021 debut of Coinbase, which opened at $381, reached $430, and then dropped below $200 within a month of listing. This history highlights the potential for volatility in newly listed crypto stocks.

Trading activity in the stablecoin sector also reflected increased investor participation. The company’s USDC, a coin designed to stay equal in value to the U.S. dollar, saw a 22% increase in trading volume over the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Tether’s USDT—the largest stablecoin by market size—recorded a 13% gain in traded volume during the same period.

USDC is used widely for digital asset trading, lending, and transferring money globally. The notable gains in trading price and volume indicate that investor demand for infrastructure supporting stablecoins is growing, especially as traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets become more closely linked.

Despite this strong showing, some experts point out that intense speculation can fade quickly. Over the coming weeks, Circle will face a crucial test of investor confidence in a space often known for price swings.
