$CRCL | Circle Internet Q2’25 Summary
• Revenue: $658M
(Est. $644.7M) | +53% YoY
• EPS: -$0.18
(Est. $0.34) → non-cash expenses, largely driven by the IPO; Net Loss -$482M (including $591M IPO-related charges)
USDC & Operations
• USDC in circulation: $61.3B (+90% YoY) — Aug 10: $65.2B
• Avg USDC: $61.0B (+86% YoY)
• Market share: 28% (+595 bps YoY)
• USDC on platform: $6.0B (+924% YoY)
• Meaningful wallets: 5.7M (+68% YoY)
Profitability
• Adj. EBITDA: $126M (+52% YoY), margin 50% (+463 bps)
• RLDC: $251M (+38% YoY); margin 38% (-408 bps) → to watch
Guidance
• USDC growth: ~40% CAGR (multi-year)
• FY25 Other Rev: $75–85M | FY25 RLDC margin: 36–38%
• FY25 Adj. Opex: $475–490M
Strategy / Corporate
• $1.2B IPO completed; $583M net cash
• Circle Payments Network (May): 100+ institution pipeline
• Arc: L1 for stablecoin finance (public testnet fall)
• Partnerships: Binance, Corpay, FIS, Fiserv, OKX
• GENIUS Act enacted → Federal stablecoin framework in the US
CEO – Jeremy Allaire: IPO marks critical turning point for Circle and stablecoin adoption; cross-industry interest accelerates.
My comment:
Strong outlook: USDC volume & market share accelerating; core profitability (Adj. EBITDA, 50% margin) healthy.
Red dot: EPS/Net loss largely a non-cash accounting impact from the IPO; not a sign of operational weakness.
3 key points in focus: (1) Is USDC circulation growth sustainable? (2) Is the RLDC margin reversing from 38%? (3) Actual adoption/integration speed in Payments Network & Arc.
Thesis: Regulation clarified with the GENIUS Act + institutional partnerships → Increases revenue visibility in 2H25.
Risks: Crypto volume cycle, Tether competition, maintaining OPEX discipline.
Not investment advice!!!
