Stablecoin regulation lifts Circle Internet stock
Circle Internet Group stock rose 14% to $100.63 in morning trading after testimony and a Washington policy push favoring federal stablecoin rules. Circle president Heath Tarbert urged full implementation of the GENIUS Act, with reserve requirements, redemption at par, and disclosures to take effect no later than January 2027, and warned about offshore loopholes. Circle issues USDC with a 73.7 billion token supply and holds an OCC federal trust charter. A competing consortium led by Goldman Sachs now includes 21 banks planning a dollar stablecoin in first-half 2027, creating a regulatory and competitive contest as rulemaking and filings progress.
