Crypto giant Circle posts upbeat Q4 results, stock rises 21%

Circle Internet Group (CRCL) shares rose 21% in premarket trading following robust Q4 2025 financial results. Fourth-quarter revenue jumped 77% to $770 million, leading to full-year revenue of $2.7 billion, fueled by rapid USDC adoption. The company posted $133 million in quarterly net income, and adjusted EBITDA soared 412% to $167 million. The USDC ecosystem expanded significantly, with circulation climbing 72% to over $75 billion and onchain transaction volume exploding by 247% to nearly $12 trillion. CEO Jeremy Allaire noted this progress toward building infrastructure for a programmable internet financial system. Growth was supported by infrastructure expansion, including 55 financial institutions joining the Circle Payments Network, and major integrations with Visa and Intuit. Furthermore, Circle secured conditional OCC approval in December to establish a national trust bank, solidifying its market position as USDC captures 28% of the dollar-denominated stablecoin market.
