Bernstein: Market Misreads Stablecoin Regulatory Impact, Circle Stock Pullback May Be Overdone

Golden Finance reports that regarding the significant decline in Circle’s stock price, investment bank Bernstein stated that the market’s interpretation of the U.S. stablecoin regulation draft is biased, and the current sell-off may have already exceeded fundamental risks. Previously, Circle’s stock price dropped about 20% in one day, approaching the $100 mark, mainly due to the provisions in the draft of the Clarity Act that propose to restrict stablecoin reserve yields. However, Bernstein pointed out that this rule targets distributors, not issuers. Analysts emphasized the need to distinguish between stablecoin issuers and distribution platforms: Circle invests approximately $80 billion of USDC reserves in short-term U.S. Treasuries to earn interest margin, generating about $2.64 billion in revenue in 2025, but it does not pay interest directly to token holders.
