CRCL drops 16.3% as Mastercard, Stripe and BNY unveil Open USD stablecoin that splits yields among partners and challenges USDC dominance.
SourceAnalysis
Circle shares CRCL plunged 16.30% after Mastercard, Stripe, BNY and partners launched Open USD as neutral shared infrastructure that distributes reserve yields instead of concentrating them with a single issuer, directly pressuring USDC and USDT which control nearly all stablecoin volume; the move compounds existing headwinds including $225 million net insider sales over the past twelve months and the Fed’s June 18 proposal for bank-style customer identification rules on issuers.
