Circle, which issues the dollar-pegged USDC stablecoin, reported earnings per share of $0.43 U.S., which was more than double the $0.16 U.S. expected among analysts. Revenue and reserve income totaled $770 million U.S., up 77% from a year ago and above Wall Street's consensus forecast of $747.4 million U.S. Management said that Circle is benefitting as USDC (CRYPTO: $USDC ) adoption expands globally and becomes more integrated with payments, treasury, and onchain financial workflows. The company, which earns most of its money on interest accrued to its USDC reserves, is one of the largest stablecoin issuers in the world. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies whose value is pegged to another asset, typically the U.S. dollar or price of gold. Before today (Feb. 25), CRCL stock had declined 43% since its initial public offering (IPO) held last June and was trading at $61.37 U.S. per share.
