Circle, the firm behind the widely-used stablecoin USDC, has seen its stock, trading under the ticker CRCL, rise above $123 for the first time since October of last year. This surge was accompanied by a new upgrade from Clear Street, which upgraded Circle’s stock from a “Hold” to a “Buy” and raised its price target from $92 to $136 in a research note released on Monday. USDC Adoption Soars Amid Increased Demand Since the beginning of February, adoption of Circle’s USDC stablecoin has increased significantly, indicating a growing interest from financial institutions and consumers in stablecoins. This uptick contributed to a 7.5% jump in Circle’s stock price on Monday, currently trading at around $123 at the time of writing. Year-to-date, Circle shares have climbed 46%, reflecting a positive trend in the company’s performance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Hits $74K As Geopolitical Tensions Spike, Is BTC Poised For a Fresh Leg Down? Several factors appear to be fueling this rally. According to a recent report from Barron’s, the ongoing conflict in Iran has disrupted banking and exchanges in the Middle East, which may have contributed to the increasing use of USDC for remittances and cross-border transactions. Clear Street analyst Owen Lau noted that during this volatile period, the market capitalization of USDC continued to rise, suggesting that the demand was driven primarily by its practical utility rather than speculative investment. The report also highlights a growing trend where financial institutions are tokenizing funds—digitizing these assets to trade on blockchain networks. Although USDC is not the sole settlement currency for such platforms, its regulatory compliance and wide compatibility make it an attractive option. Additionally, USDC is gaining traction in prediction markets, particularly with Polymarket’s anticipated expansion into the US, which could further boost demand as numerous trades in these markets are settled in USDC. Regulatory Clarity Seen As Key Driver For Circle Another significant development that Circle investors are optimistic about is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in facilitating transactions. As AI agents increasingly perform tasks like booking travel and executing contracts independently, the need for digital wallets capable of instant settlement will grow. Circle’s Arc blockchain protocol is being designed to serve as an infrastructure to support these types of automated payments, further enhancing its utility in the financial ecosystem. Lau emphasized a critical distinction that investors often overlook: the performance of speculative crypto assets is not necessarily indicative of the adoption trajectory for payment stablecoins. “A central misperception among investors is conflating the fortunes of speculative crypto assets with the adoption trajectory of payment stablecoins,” he stated. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Will ‘Pump Hard’ Soon, Here’s Why The report asserts that regulatory clarity has the potential to drive even more institutional investment into digital assets. Currently, there is a debate within the banking sector and the crypto industry concerning whether the CLARITY Act should permit stablecoin holders to earn yields on their deposits. With calls from President Trump for various stakeholders to reach a compromise, Clear Street anticipates that the CLARITY Act may pass before the summer ends, which could further contribute to the stock’s positive performance along with broader crypto prices. “Our conversations with institutional allocators consistently highlight regulatory uncertainty as the primary barrier to increasing crypto exposure,” Lau concluded.

On-chain data shows Dogecoin whales have gone on a buying spree over the last few days, scooping up 470 million tokens of the memecoin. Dogecoin Has Seen A Rally Back Above $0.10 The cryptocurrency sector has kicked off the new week with a surge and Dogecoin has been no exception as the memecoin has reclaimed the $0.10 level after climbing up by more than 5% over the last 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fear & Greed Surges As Price Touches $74,000, But Extreme Fear Persists The below chart shows how the asset’s recent performance has looked. As is visible in the graph, Dogecoin made a bullish attempt at the end of last week as well, but back then, momentum quickly ran out and the coin returned to lower levels. The latest gains have stood for longer than the last attempt, but it only remains to be seen how long they will last. In terms of weekly returns, DOGE is in a profit of nearly 10%, which is better than some of its peers, but worse than others. The memecoin is currently ranked ninth on the market cap list | Source: CoinMarketCap The new price surge has arrived for the asset as whales have been showing accumulation behavior behind the scenes. DOGE Whales Have Been Accumulating Recently As highlighted by analyst Ali Martinez in an X post, Dogecoin whales have increased their holdings recently. “Whales” refer to the big-money investors of the cryptocurrency who hold large sums in their wallets, giving them some degree of influence in the market. Moves from this cohort may sometimes affect the asset, but even when they don’t, they can still worth be monitoring as they contain information about the sentiment among the large traders. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the trend in the holdings of the Dogecoin whales over the last few days: As displayed in the above graph, the Dogecoin whales have participated in net accumulation over the past few days. In total, these large investors have added 470 million tokens of the memecoin to their holdings inside this window. Considering the timing of these buys, it’s possible that the latest price recovery made by the coin could be supported by the whale accumulation.

An increase in this metric is typically a sign of increased engagement from network users. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com

As the crypto market bounces, a key indicator has flashed a key bullish signal on the Ethereum (ETH) daily chart, suggesting the end of its six-month downtrend could be near. However, some analysts have warned investors of a possible bull trap and a subsequent reversal to new lows. Related Reading: WLFI Holders Face New 6-Month Lockup Rule To Gain Voting Power Ethereum Eyes Trend Reversal Ethereum kicked off the week by breaking above $2,200 for the first time in weeks, reaching a one-month high of $2,320 on Monday morning. The cryptocurrency has been trading between $1,825 and $2,150 since the early February crash, failing to break out of this range despite multiple attempts. Over the past week, the King of Altcoins has bounced 20% from last Sunday’s lows, printing seven consecutive green candles in the daily timeframe. Amid this performance, ETH has weekly closed above the $2,000-$2,150 area, setting the stage for a potential retest of the one-month resistance as support. Market observer MacroCRG affirmed that ETH is currently the strongest out of the big three: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Notably, it has rallied over 9.7% and 14.5% in the weekly and daily timeframes, recording the strongest performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. In addition, it has moved above the 50-day Moving Average (MA) for the first time in 56 days and is back into the 12H Ichimoku Cloud for the first time in 55 days. Analyst Ali Martinez shared that another key indicator used to identify the current market trend had flashed its first bullish signal in six months, which “just signaled the end of the downtrend.” According to the X post, the SuperTrend indicator has flipped from Sell to Buy for the first time since September, highlighting the cryptocurrency’s price breakout and institutional demand. As he noted, in the last two instances in which the SuperTrend showed a Buy signal, Ethereum rallied 52% and 174%, with the latest move leading to its August all-time high (ATH) of $4,946. “We’ve survived the grind from September to March,” the analyst asserted. “The next key levels to watch are $2,400 and $2,600.” Breakout Or Bull Tap? Market watcher Ted Pillows also underscored ETH’s recent performance, asserting that now that $2,150 was reclaimed, “there’s not much resistance for Ethereum until the $2,400 zone.” However, he warned that the bullish momentum may be short-lived, suggesting a bull trap could be unfolding and a reversal toward its potential market bottom could follow the ongoing price move. “IMO, ETH could tap the $2,400 zone, as I have been saying for days, before a reversal to new lows,” the X post reads. Related Reading: XRP Gearing Up For 1,300% Rally? Analyst Sets Bold $48 Target For Next Bull Run The analyst explained that Ethereum has been trading sideways, consolidating between two key liquidity clusters: one around $2,200-$2,600 and another around $1,400-$1,700. He suggested that both liquidity clusters will be taken out in the near future. “First, Ethereum could rally towards the $2,400 level to wipe out late shorts. Then, ETH will start its reversal and hit new lows,” he cautioned. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

XRP may need as many as five macro cycles to push beyond $100, according to a chart shared by analyst TARA, known on X as @PrecisionTrade3, who outlined a long-range roadmap that places the token’s first nine-figure milestone far beyond the current market structure. In the post, TARA said the projection was built around price targets rather than a calendar. “Keep in mind that I measured for price only, NOT time. I used only the textbook/conservative targets and as the cycles develop, each of these targets will be adjusted with the actuals,” the analyst wrote. “This is how many MACRO cycles it could take before XRP breaks $100. Many waves, many corrections, many years.” The Projected Path Above $100 For XRP The chart (12-month XRP/USDT Binance pair) maps out a staircase of cycle tops beginning with a completed Cycle 1 target at $3.65. From there, the model points to roughly $8.68 for Cycle 2, about $22.50 for Cycle 3, nearly $59 for Cycle 4, and around $153 for Cycle 5. On that framework, XRP does not clear $100 until the fifth major leg higher. Related Reading: This XRP Level Is ‘Where Everything Changes,’ Analyst Says That immediately pushed the conversation toward timing. One commenter asked whether failing to reach $8 yet means the market is still in Cycle 2 and could therefore need “20 years plus” to reach triple digits. TARA did not commit to a precise window but suggested the path could still be lengthy at the present pace. “Yea maybe 10 years at the current rate… hard to tell… and of course SO many factors can accelerate these cycles. Price targets would remain though- it would just move through the cycle much faster.” The thread also made clear that the analyst is not calling for a straight-line move higher. When asked whether XRP could go directly from the $8.68 area to the $22.50 region, TARA said a correction would still be required, adding that a conservative retracement back toward roughly $3.65 should be expected. In a follow-up, the analyst said “2 major corrections should be expected otw to $22,” reinforcing the idea that the projected path is sequential and structurally messy, not parabolic. Related Reading: XRP Gearing Up For 1,300% Rally? Analyst Sets Bold $48 Target For Next Bull Run That longer-term map sits alongside a much more cautious near-term view. In an earlier March 9 post, TARA said XRP was still stuck between two levels already being tracked, with the .618 at $1.47 acting as resistance and the .5 level at $1.33 serving as support that needed to break lower to complete the rest of the fifth wave. The analyst said the “plan has not changed,” and that the .786 support at $0.87 was still expected before XRP “takes off for Wave 3.” That bearish intermediate setup remained intact in later replies. Asked whether XRP could still drop to $0.87 before printing new all-time highs, TARA answered yes, while noting one condition that could briefly extend the upside first. “Watching this closely now bc its trying to break above $1.47,” the analyst wrote. “If it does, and depending on BTC targeting $75.4k-$79k, it could push XRP as high as the $1.88 level and then still back down to $.87.” The same reply thread put the next major resistance at $1.88 on Binance, which TARA said roughly equates to $2.02 on Coinbase because of exchange-level pricing discrepancies. On momentum, the analyst added that Bitcoin looked set to test $75,400 soon, but said XRP’s RSI was not “breaking out,” a sign, in that reading, that the move still looked corrective rather than the start of a new trend. At press time, XRP traded at $1.50. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
