Seeking Alpha upgraded Circle Internet Group (CRCL) to a Strong Buy rating. The analyst identifies a compelling risk-reward profile as the stock price fell below $60 per share.
Recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts create near-term profitability headwinds. Circle’s revenue model relies heavily on USDC circulation volume and prevailing interest rates.
Broader crypto market weakness and post-IPO lockup insider selling have pressured the stock. However, USDC’s resilient market capitalization and the company’s focus on regulatory transparency support its market leadership.
The upcoming Q4 earnings report will serve as a key event to clarify the impact of these factors.
