The $CRCL opened at $66 but quickly soared to $102.92, marking one of the most dramatic IPO day rallies for a fintech firm in recent years. The trading volume crossed 9.86 million shares by 12:50 PM EDT, reflecting intense investor interest.

The bullish sentiment by market participants has provided the 200% premium over its initial public offering price of $31.

• Market Cap: $17B

Circle’s listing comes at a pivotal moment for the crypto industry, as regulators and institutions increasingly embrace blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The IPO, long anticipated since Circle first filed to go public, was seen as a bellwether for the broader stablecoin market.

The rally positions Circle among the top-performing IPOs of 2025 and strengthens its foothold in traditional financial markets. Analysts say the surge signals strong market confidence in regulated digital finance and the growing role of USDC as a stable, compliant digital dollar alternative.
