CRCL Stock Latest Updates Analysis and CRCLX Purchase Guide: Taking the Gate xStocks Section as an Example

As of September 1, 2025, the stock price of Circle Internet Group (CRCL) has shown a new trend after experiencing significant fluctuations. As the core issuer of the USDC stablecoin, Circle has not only become a barometer of the encryption industry but also provides a new avenue for global investors to participate through the tokenization of stock CRCLX.

This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the latest market dynamics of CRCL and gradually guide you on how to purchase CRCLX in the Gate xStocks section.

Latest Market Performance of CRCL Stock

Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), as a key player in the cryptocurrency infrastructure sector, has its stock price closely linked to the performance of the crypto market. Since August 2025, the CRCL stock price has experienced significant fluctuations.

On August 15, the trading volume reached 3.379 billion USD, while by August 20, the trading volume was 1.273 billion USD. The stock price once hit a high of 132.25 USD in August, but also closed at 127.40 USD on some trading days.

The company reported revenues of $658.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 53%, exceeding the analysts' expectations of $644.7 million. Although the net loss reached $482 million, this was mainly due to $591 million in "IPO-related non-cash expenses."

Excluding this factor, Circle can actually achieve a profit of 109 million dollars.

Analysts' opinions are clearly divided.

Wall Street analysts have shown a mixed outlook on CRCL. Several institutions have recently adjusted their ratings and target prices for it:

  • Bullish: Canaccord Genuity Group gives a "Buy" rating with a target price of $247; Needham & Company LLC also gives a "Buy" rating with a target price of $250.
  • Cautious stance: JP Morgan maintains a "reduce" rating with a target price of only 89 USD; Compass Point even downgraded its rating from "neutral" to "sell," with a target price lowered to 130 USD.

Currently, the consensus rating for CRCL is "Hold", with an average target price of about 170.91 USD.

Insiders significantly reduced their holdings

The recent large-scale sell-off by insiders is worth noting. In the past three months, insiders at Circle have sold a total of 7.48 million shares of stock, worth approximately $297 million.

CEO Jeremy Allaire sold over 1.58 million shares by himself. On August 18, board member Rajeev Date also sold 33,400 shares, reducing his holdings by 11.84%.

These share reduction actions may have increased the market's short-term concerns about stock prices.

What is CRCLX? Advantages of Tokenized Stocks

CRCLX is a tokenized certificate of Circle Internet Group stocks, launched by the Swiss compliant platform Backed Finance. Each CRCLX token corresponds to a 1:1 backing of real CRCL stocks, with the underlying stocks held by Swiss licensed banks (such as InCore Bank) and regularly undergoing on-chain audits to ensure transparency. Compared to traditional stocks, CRCLX has multiple advantages:

  • 24/7 Trading: Break through the traditional stock market time constraints of 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM EST, supporting 24/7 trading, allowing you to respond to major market movements at any time.
  • Fragmented investment: Supports a fractional share mechanism starting from a minimum purchase of 10 USD, significantly lowering the entry threshold for blue-chip stocks.
  • On-chain free circulation: Issued based on ERC-20 and Solana SPL dual standards, can be transferred to wallets or DeFi protocols for participation in staking, lending, and other scenarios, improving asset utilization.
  • Borderless investment: Global users can purchase with USDT with one click, eliminating geographical restrictions and complex account opening processes without the need for a US stock brokerage account.

It is important to note that holding CRCLX does not grant shareholder voting rights in Circle, and dividends are indirectly reflected through token value adjustments (no cash dividends).

How to Purchase CRCLX in the Gate xStocks Area

On July 3, 2025, Gate exchange globally launched the xStocks tokenized stock spot and contract dual market, becoming the preferred platform for operating CRCLX. Here are the detailed steps to purchase CRCLX:

Preliminary preparations

  2. Prepare USDT: Recharge USDT to Gate 【Spot Account】 (supports multi-chain deposits) as the base currency for purchase.

Purchase process

  1. Enter the area: After logging into your Gate account, click on the top 【Trading】 → Select 【xStocks Spot Area】 or 【Alpha Spot Area】.
  2. Search trading pairs: Enter CRCLX/USDT in the search box, or directly visit the CRCLX page in the xStocks section.

  • DeFi appreciation: Transfer CRCLX to supported wallets, participate in staking, lending, or liquidity mining to further expand investment strategies.

Investment Risks and Future Outlook

When investing in CRCLX, be aware of the associated risks. In addition to market fluctuation risks, there are also:

  • Regulatory uncertainty: The US SEC has not yet recognized the legality of tokenized stocks, and policies in places like Switzerland and Singapore are still evolving.
  • Liquidity risk: A short-term price difference of 2%-5% may occur under extreme market conditions, and most trading volume is concentrated in a few underlying assets.
  • Technical risks: including potential threats such as system failures and hacker attacks.

Despite the risks, xStocks, as a financial innovation, is driving the integration of crypto finance from "marginal experimentation" to "institutional fusion."

As the daily trading volume exceeds 100 million USD, tokenized stocks are expected to become the standard allocation for a new generation of investors, achieving a seamless experience of "one wallet, investing globally."

Future Outlook

As of September 1, 2025, CRCLX trading on the Gate platform is active, with price movements closely linked to the CRCL stock listed on NASDAQ. As more traditional assets are tokenized and brought on-chain, this "borderless, round-the-clock, fragmented" investment approach is reshaping the flow paradigm of global assets.
