New York, March 25, 2026 – Shares of Circle Internet Group Inc. ($CRCL), the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, experienced a sharp decline of about 15% in a single trading day. The movement came shortly after the announcement of an agreement regarding the CLARITY Act bill, which limits rewards for stablecoin holders to benefits linked to activities, prohibiting any direct yield on maintained balances.
The text of the agreement indicates that stablecoins like USDC will remain, in essence, payment tools, without easily evolving into a store of value asset with attractive yields. This restriction represents a significant setback for the main bullish argument of investors, who were betting on the transformation of USDC into a more robust and competitive product against traditional options.
The market interpreted the news as a regulatory victory for the traditional banking sector, reducing the long-term appeal of the regulated American stablecoin. On the intraday chart, the stock fell more than 14.6%, dropping from levels close to US$ 126 to around US$ 108.
Crypto market experts observe that the decision may benefit unregulated competitors, like Tether, and force Circle to seek other monetization strategies, such as integrations in DeFi or rewards for active usage. The decline reflects, above all, investors' frustration with the brake imposed on the company's growth potential as an issuer of a “premium” stablecoin.
The quotation remains volatile, with analysts divided on whether the movement represents a buying opportunity or the beginning of a deeper correction in the company's valuation.
