USDC Stablecoin Issuer Circle Reports 77% Revenue Upsurge in Q4, 2025
USDC Issuer Circle reported $770M in revenue (+77% YoY) for Q4 2025.
Several reasons have contributed to this notable performance.
Stablecoin summer is in full swing following regulatory support.
USDC stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE: CRCL) has posted $2.7 billion (+64% YoY) in full-year revenue and reserve income for 2025.
More specifically, the company saw $770 million (+77% YoY) in revenue and $133 million in net profits in Q4 of 2025. Its flagship stablecoin USDC saw annual transaction volume skyrocket by 247% to reach $11.9 trillion.
At press time, CRCL shares were trading at $82.22, having surged 33.97% in the past 24 hours following the company’s financial report. This also represents a massive 156% hike in value from $31 during the June 2025 initial public offering (IPO).

Meanwhile, USDC’s total market cap is now at $75.4 billion, up 16.55% in the past 24hours.
Reasons Circle posted strong Q4, 2025 results
Under the helm of CEO Jeremy Allaire, Circle became a publicly traded company and moved its headquarters from Boston to New York City to better position itself at the heart of global finance.
The company also diversified its revenue sources with its cross-border payments system, Circle Payments Network (CPN), achieving $5.7 billion in annualized transaction volumes. Its other stablecoin, the euro-backed EURC, now has €310 million worth of assets under management (AUM), while its tokenized Treasury product USYC boasts $1.5 billion AUM.
Even more, Circle integrated USDC into Brazil and Mexico payment systems while developing partnerships with notable financial conglomerates like Visa and Intuit. In late 2025, the firm’s Arc blockchain testnet saw considerable onboarding from noteworthy institutions looking to engage with tokenized financial products.
Regulatory-wise, Circle was the first of its kind to obtain operational licenses in European markets. Compliance with the GENIUS Act in the US has positioned it as a safe financial harbor, increasing its adoption as a payments stablecoin.
Stablecoin summer
While the rest of the market experienced what many perceived as a crypto winter, stablecoins surged in volume to about $400 billion following heightened adoption.Â
Still, their earnings pale in comparison to payment giants like Visa, which reported $20.1 billion in GAAP net income on $40 billion in net revenue for the 2025 fiscal year.
In the future, Circle plans to broaden its outreach by enabling the use of its stablecoins by artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
