Circle’s stock experienced a significant surge of over 25% on Friday, defying market volatility and reaching new heights. This gain comes after the company announced its USDC stablecoin launch on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) on June 12th. Despite a volatile week for CRCL, closing at $133.56, it signifies continued investor interest despite wider fluctuations in the market. While the stock saw gains throughout the day, with an after-hours increase of 1.25%, a steep pre-lunch rally had pushed the price to its peak just before noon. However, these returns were trimmed later on. The recent addition to the NYSE has resulted in limited long-term performance data for CRCL, but it already boasts a impressive 93.56% increase since debuting on the market. Despite this positive start, there are still concerns about price stability and the potential for more volatile swings in the near future.
