Circle Internet (CRCL) Gives up Sharp Gains as Traders Take Profits
We recently published . Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) is one of the worst-performing stocks on Wednesday. Circle Internet extended its losses to a second day on Wednesday, shedding 10.79 percent to close at $198.62 apiece as investors appeared to have taken profits following its sharp rally since market debut. Since its first day as a publicly listed company, Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) has already soared by more than 864 percent, having hit its highest price of $298.99 earlier this week. The surge followed a series of catalysts that sparked investor appetite, including the Senate's green light of the Stablecoins bill, its partnership with technology giants, as well as its first 'buy' recommendation. On Friday, Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) earned its first 'buy' recommendation from Seaport Global following the Senate's passage of a legislation that would allow the wider usage of Stablecoin. Earlier last week, Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) announced that its USDC Stablecoin is being adopted by retail giants Amazon and Walmart, as well as e-commerce operator Shopify, which began rolling out its feature enabling merchants to accept the digital currency for payments and order fulfillment flows.
