Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet's shares climbed 48% on Friday, extending a stellar run after a blowout market debut on the New York Stock Exchange a day earlier.

Trading under the ticker "CRCL," shares of the USDC stablecoin issuer opened at $69 after the upsized initial public offering (IPO) priced Wednesday at $31, above its expected range of $27 to $28. The shares finished at $83.23, rising almost as high as $104 in intraday trading.

The shares of the stablecoin giant Circle surged on its first day as a public company. In a post on the social media platform X, the issuer of the second-largest dollar-pegged stablecoin USDC and the euro-pegged Euro Coin (EURC) says its shares can now be traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
