Circle Pops 30 % as USDC Prints an $11 . 9 Trillion Flex

<h3>BREAKING NEWS</h3>
<p>Circle (CRCL) reported its fourth-quarter earnings after the bell on Tuesday, and it looks like they finally got the break they’ve been waiting for from Wall Street.</p>
<p>The USDC issuer’s stock was up almost 30% on Wednesday, hovering around $80 after hitting a low of $49 in early February.</p>
<p>Some key highlights from the report include $770 million in total revenue and reserve income (up 77% year-over-year), $75.3 billion in USDC in circulation (up 72% year-over-year), and USDC on-chain transaction volume hitting $11.9 trillion (up 247% year-over-year).</p>
<p>CEO Jeremy Allaire wrote on X early Wednesday that the world is at an “inflection point,” adding that “Blockchain, stablecoins, and AI aren't separate trends” but instead “converging into something much bigger: a reimagined global economic system, built natively on the internet.”</p>
<p>Allaire then brings up one narrative that’s been extremely hot lately — AI Agents, a growing trend that many analysts believe will be the future not only of investing.</p>

<p>“We are entering a world where, in my view, tens or even hundreds of billions of AI agents will interact and perform economic functions over the internet,” Allaire says.</p>
<p>Stripe CEO Patrick Collison echoed that bullish sentiment in his annual investor letter released on Wednesday.</p>
<p>“After a decade of stablecoin volumes tracking the undulations of crypto asset prices, last year saw a clear divergence,” he said.</p>
<p>It’s safe to say that something big is brewing with both Stripe and Circle on board. Circle looks more and more like they are going to play the picks-and-shovels role in the merging crypto and AI economy. That’s clearly shifting sentiment toward their stock.</p>
