Circle Internet Group is trading at $81.90 (+4.21%) as it rises alongside a broad cryptocurrency rally following the U.S. Treasury’s August 19 announcement expanding long-term bond buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation.
- Bitcoin is up 4.25% since the previous close, while Ethereum has gained 7.56%, supporting crypto-linked equities.
- The move follows Circle’s 9.56% gain on August 19.
- Evidence points to macro-driven crypto-market momentum rather than a fresh Circle-specific announcement on August 20.
