On July 14, Circle Internet Corp. fell 5.4% in regular trading, trading at approximately $60.79/share, with turnover of $3.56 billion. The decline was driven by growing concerns over USDC market capitalization erosion and intensifying competition in the stablecoin sector.
Mizuho analysts noted that while Circle recently received OCC approval to establish a national trust bank, the milestone is insufficient to offset the core pressure of sustained USDC market cap contraction. Data shows USDC circulating supply has declined approximately $70 billion from its March high, with $6.6 billion in outflows over the past quarter — the largest outflow among major stablecoins. Meanwhile, emerging competitors such as Open USD are accelerating market share gains, and the broader stablecoin market experienced its largest monthly contraction in years during June. The market is reassessing Circle's growth trajectory and profitability outlook amid this competitive landscape shift.
