Investing.com -- Circle Internet (NYSE:CRCL) stock surged 6% on Wednesday afternoon after Reuters reported that the White House will meet with banking and cryptocurrency industry executives to discuss stalled crypto legislation.

The meeting, scheduled for Monday, will focus on resolving conflicts between the banking and crypto sectors, particularly regarding the ability of crypto companies to pay interest and rewards on stablecoin holdings. The White House’s crypto council is hosting the summit with various trade groups in attendance, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The planned meeting highlights the Trump administration’s commitment to advancing cryptocurrency legislation. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the matter.

Circle Internet, which issues the USDC stablecoin, also benefited from an upgrade by Mizuho earlier in the day, further boosting investor sentiment.

Meanwhile, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) shares edged higher following the Reuters report but remained down 0.3% for the session.

Stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional currencies like the U.S. dollar, have become an increasingly important focus for regulators and lawmakers as their usage in the financial system grows.

Investing.com -- Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) stock rose 3.4% Wednesday after Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev upgraded the cryptocurrency firm from Underperform to Neutral with a price target of $77.00.

The upgrade comes after Dolev initially rated Circle as Underperform on June 8, 2025, when the stock was trading at $207. His previous concerns centered on "meager USDC distribution, declining interest rates and fierce competition from Tether’s USDT."

Dolev now sees USDC usage on prediction market Polymarket as a potential catalyst for Circle. Polymarket, where all bets are settled using Circle’s USDC stablecoin, has shown strong performance in early 2026 with annualized volumes of approximately $50 billion—more than three times higher than 2025 levels.

The analyst estimates this current activity could drive about 25% potential upside to USDC’s market capitalization, with further growth possible given the variety of prediction events on the platform. As a result, Mizuho has raised its 2026/27 estimates for USDC in circulation, though these projections remain below consensus.

Prior to this upgrade, Mizuho was among only three analysts with a sell rating on Circle, while the majority of Wall Street analysts maintain a "buy" rating on the stock.
