Shares of Circle (CRCL) continued their meteoric rise on Friday, jumping another 19% to reach $237, already surpassing the $235 price target set by Seaport Securities. The company’s stock has now soared nearly eightfold since its IPO at $31 just over two weeks ago.

Seaport Securities recently initiated coverage on Circle with a buy rating, pointing to massive growth potential in the stablecoin sector. The firm forecasts that the total stablecoin market cap could climb to $2 trillion in the coming years, compared to roughly $260 billion today.

Seaport analysts also anticipate that Circle can deliver 25%–30% annual revenue growth, paired with gross margins around 40%.

“We expect Circle to significantly outperform most fintech companies over the next two years, justifying a premium valuation multiple,” the report stated.

Investors appear to agree, driving Circle’s share price sharply higher as confidence grows in the company’s pivotal role within the expanding digital currency ecosystem.
