Circle (CRCL): Capitalizing on USDC’s Infrastructure Advantage and Cross-Border Payments Growth

William Blair analyst Andrew Jeffrey has reiterated their bullish stance on CRCL stock, giving a Buy rating on March 10.

Andrew Jeffrey has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Circle’s structural position in the stablecoin ecosystem and improving market conditions. He sees investors having been overly pessimistic earlier in the year, while USDC has maintained a resilient market capitalization and Circle’s role as a key infrastructure provider has become more recognized, all against a backdrop of what appears to be a recovering crypto market.

Jeffrey also emphasizes the substantial long-term opportunity in cross-border business payments, arguing that USDC is well placed to become one of only a few dominant standards thanks to its early lead, liquidity, and native role in Circle’s Arc network. In his view, rising onchain USDC activity and growing, monetizable payment volumes—particularly in small and midsize business flows—demonstrate early commercialization traction and validate Circle’s robust mint/burn and transaction infrastructure, supporting a favorable risk‑reward profile for long-term investors in CRCL.

In another report released on March 10, TipRanks – Google also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $125.00 price target.
