Circle's stock price fell as much as 20% due to market concerns about stablecoin yield provisions in the U.S. Clarity Act. Bernstein analysts pointed out that the legislation primarily targets distributors, and Circle's revenue model is not directly impacted by this provision. The firm maintains its outperform ratings on both Circle and Coinbase.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 25 — According to The Block, Circle’s stock price dropped about 20% at one point on Tuesday amid market concerns over provisions in the U.S. Clarity Act draft that restrict stablecoin yields. In response, Bernstein analysts believe the market has misinterpreted the situation, emphasizing that the bill mainly targets distributors rather than issuers — since Circle earns reserve income by investing in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds and does not directly pay yields to token holders, it is not directly constrained by this provision. Bernstein maintains an outperform rating on Circle and Coinbase, with target prices of $190 and $440, respectively.
