Circle is joining the big leagues as its market capitalization closes on Coinbase and Robinhood, even as Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest reduces its stake in the USDC stablecoin issuer.

Circle’s market cap surged past $63.8 billion yesterday, a nearly 750% increase since its IPO launched less than three weeks ago. Coinbase has a market cap of $78 billion and Robinhood stands at $68 billion

CRCL shares hit an intraday record high near $299 before settling at $263.45, up more than 9% on the day and 865% since launch.
