Arthur Hayes has laid out a detailed case for why the U.S. government, through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45897485/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-sees-stablecoin-market-surging-past-2-trillion-as-senate-a">Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's policies</a>, is increasingly leaning on stablecoins as a financial tool to help fund growing federal deficits while keeping bond yields contained.
"The real stablecoin play isn't betting on crusty FinTechs like Circle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), it's understanding that the U.S. government just handed Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks the launch keys to a multi-trillion-dollar liquidity bazooka disguised as ‘innovation,'" Hayes <a href="https://cryptohayes.medium.com/quid-pro-stablecoin-c9daeb7aa569">wrote</a>.
Hayes contends that stablecoin adoption by TBTF banks, coupled with new regulatory advantages like Supplemental Leverage Ratio (SLR) exemptions and a potential end to the Federal Reserve's practice of paying interest on reserve balances, could unlock massive demand for Treasury bills.
He estimates that:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>$6.8 trillion of T-bill buying power could be unlocked through stablecoin-fueled bank deposits.</li>
<li>An additional $3.3 trillion could be released if the Fed stops paying interest on reserves held by banks.</li>
</ul>
In total, this could flood the Treasury market with over $10 trillion of new demand, without the Fed formally resuming quantitative easing.
"Some of you are still waiting for monetary Godot," Hayes wrote, warning investors not to sit on the sidelines waiting for a traditional QE announcement. 
"The stablecoin Trojan horse is already inside the fortress, and when it opens, it's not armed with libertarian dreams, it's loaded with T-bill buying liquidity."

According to Hayes, the structure of the Genius Act, a bipartisan stablecoin bill, ensures that major banks will dominate the stablecoin market. FinTech companies like Circle may find themselves sidelined as they lack access to the deposit base and government guarantees that banks enjoy.
Hayes highlighted JPMorgan's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) recently announced stablecoin, JPMD, as a key example. 
He suggests that banks will aggressively push customers to convert traditional deposits into stablecoins, offering cost efficiencies and freeing up trillions of dollars to purchase T-bills.
The stablecoin shift, Hayes argues, could boost profitability and stock valuations of large banks while creating a hidden liquidity source that supports both the Treasury market and risk assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and equities.
In Hayes' view, investors overly focused on waiting for a Federal Reserve pivot may miss the real liquidity story that is already taking shape. 
&#8220;Stop listening to the simp sitting in the cuck chair, and start listening to the man wielding the monster cock,&#8221; he wrote, in his typically provocative style, referring to Treasury policy as the more immediate market driver.
Hayes concludes that this policy pathway, while not officially labeled as quantitative easing, could have similar effects: surging liquidity, rising asset prices, and a potentially dramatic upside for Bitcoin and stocks tied to the largest U.S. banks.

Why It's Important: The top 10 list for the first six months of 2025 looked similar to the month of June, with eight of the companies the same.
UnitedHealth Group, which has appeared in only one top 20 over the past three months, ranked sixth thanks to the strong interest in the ticker at the start of the year.
Super Micro Computer similarly ranked eighth for the first half of 2025 despite only a ninth place rank in April and not being in the top 20 in May or June. The stock was particularly popular during the first three months of the year.
If the top 10 holds steady for the rest of the year, the top three stocks would match the 2024 year, but in a different order. In 2024, it was Nvidia ranked first, followed by Tesla and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust. The three stocks now rank in opposite order through the first six months of the year.
Outside of the top 10 there weren't many huge surprises with themes such as cryptocurrency, AI and quantum computing being strong in the first six months of 2025.
Apple ended the first half of the year ranked 12th, despite previously ranking in the top 10 in several months to start the year. Other Mag 7 stocks such as Amazon and Meta also ranked in the 11 to 20. Alphabet ranked just outside of the top 20 for the first half of the year at 22nd place. Nowhere to be found in the top 25 was Microsoft, a member of the Mag 7 and the second most valuable company in the world.

EXCLUSIVE: 2025's First Half Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro — Where Do Nvidia, Tesla, Apple Stock Rank?

Circle Internet Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NASDAQ">CRCL</a>) shares are moving higher Tuesday after the company applied for a national bank charter in a move that could have significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46056731/circle-internet-group-stock-climbs-to-new-highs-whats-going-on">upside for the stock.</a>&nbsp;
Some of the benefits for Circle would include alignment with new federal regulatory requirements and oversight, strengthened infrastructure supporting its USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Direct Federal Oversight and Regulatory Alignment</h3>
If the application is approved, Circle would become one of only two crypto firms (alongside Anchorage Digital) to hold a national trust bank license, distinguishing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46165366/circle-stock-is-a-must-hold-says-bernstein-heres-why"> itself from competitors</a> as a federally regulated trust institution under the oversight of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.&nbsp;
It would also position Circle to comply with the newly passed GENIUS Act, which sets standards for the issuance and operation of dollar-backed stablecoins.&nbsp;

Circle's bid for a national bank charter isn't just another regulatory formality—it could mark a historic turning point in crypto's relationship with the U.S. financial system. If approved, Circle would become the first major stablecoin issuer to gain full federal oversight, opening the door for deeper integration with the traditional banking sector.
At a time when lawmakers are tightening the reins on digital assets, this move positions Circle's USDC as a potential gold standard for compliant, dollar-backed stablecoins—and could give the company a powerful edge over rivals still operating in legal gray zones.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strengthened Infrastructure Supporting USDC</h3>
The bank charter would allow Circle to directly manage the reserves through a new entity, First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A.
It would also enable Circle to offer regulated digital asset custody services to institutional customers, potentially including custody of tokenized stocks, bonds and other assets.
"Establishing a national digital currency trust bank of this kind marks a significant milestone in our goal to build an internet financial system that is transparent, efficient and accessible," Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in a statement shared with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/30/stablecoin-issuer-circle-applies-for-a-national-bank-charter.html">CNBC</a>.&nbsp;
"By applying for a national trust charter, Circle is taking proactive steps to further strengthen our USDC infrastructure," Allaire said.&nbsp;
A national bank charter would solidify Circle's leadership in the stablecoin and digital asset infrastructure market and broaden its custody offerings, making it a more trusted and scalable partner for the world's leading financial institutions

Nvidia fell from second place to third, but kept a streak going of being one of the top three most-searched tickers each month in 2025.
New to the top 10 for June were Circle, CoreWeave, Applied Digital and Oklo. Circle was a new IPO in June and started its first month in fifth place. CoreWeave went public in March and after placing in 11th place in May, jumped to sixth place.
New IPOs have a history of being trending stocks for the first month or two and then dropping out of the top 20.
Advanced Micro Devices climbed back into the top 10 after ranking in the 11 to 20 range for several months.
Apple declined a lot in June, going from 10th to 19th place. This marks the first time Apple has been out of the top 10 since February.
Dropping out of the top 10 in June were UnitedHealth Group, Asset Entities, Super Micro Computer and D-Wave Quantum.  
Cryptocurrency continued to be a popular trend with Coinbase and Robinhood ranking in the top 20 and several companies that have bought cryptocurrency or established a crypto asset reserve ranking in the top 20.

EXCLUSIVE: June's 20 Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro — Where Do CoreWeave, Nvidia, Apple Stock Rank?

Circle shares are trading higher after the company applied for a national trust charter.

<ul>
<li>Charter would allow Circle to manage reserves, provide custody</li>
<li>If approved, Circle would become second crypto firm with charter</li>
<li>Move follows blockbuster IPO earlier this month</li>
</ul>
June 30 (Reuters) - Stablecoin firm Circle <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=CRCL.N">CRCL.N</a> is applying to create a national trust bank in the U.S., a major move after its blockbuster IPO valued the company at nearly $18 billion earlier this month.
If the charter is granted by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, it would enable Circle to act as a custodian for its own reserves and hold crypto assets on behalf of institutional clients. Unlike traditional banks, the license would not allow Circle to take cash deposits or make loans.
"Circle has long sought to seek the highest standards of trust, transparency, governance, compliance," CEO Jeremy Allaire told Reuters in an interview. "Becoming a publicly traded company is a significant part of that, becoming a national trust company is again a continuation of that."
Circle's national trust bank entity would be called First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A.
Crypto platform Anchorage Digital is currently the only digital asset company with a national trust bank charter.
Circle issues the dollar-pegged stablecoin USDC. Stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a constant value, usually a 1:1 dollar peg, are commonly used by crypto traders to move funds between tokens. Their use has grown rapidly in recent years, and proponents say that they could be used to send payments instantly.
Stablecoins are backed by assets such as U.S. dollars and short-term Treasury bills in order to maintain their peg to the dollar. Currently, Circle's reserves -- short-dated U.S. Treasury bills, overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements and cash -- are held in custody at BNY <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=BK.N">BK.N</a> and managed by BlackRock <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=BLK.N">BLK.N</a>.
The new entity would manage Circle's USDC reserves, although some reserves will continue to be held at major banks, Allaire said.
The license would also allow Circle to provide custody services for digital assets on behalf of institutional customers. However, Allaire said it will focus on providing custody for assets like stocks and bonds that are represented via a token on a blockchain network, over traditional cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether.
&nbsp;
GOING MAINSTREAM
The move from Circle comes as Congress gets closer to passing a bill to create a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins. If signed into law, the bill would require tokens to be backed by liquid assets and for issuers to publicly disclose the composition of their reserves on a monthly basis.
The Senate passed the bill earlier this month, and the House of Representatives is poised to pass the legislation early this summer.
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill into law. He has sought to overhaul cryptocurrency regulation <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3I5207">after courting cash</a> from the industry during his presidential campaign.
Once signed into law, the bill could pave the way for more traditional financial institutions and retailers to incorporate stablecoins into their businesses, experts and analysts say. Circle is preparing for that eventuality, Allaire said.
"We're going from the early-adopter phase of this technology into the mainstream," said Allaire. "As a public company, and now, hopefully if we are successful in getting approval from the OCC as a national trust, that will give us a foundation that the world's leading institutions are going to be comfortable building on."
Wall Street brokerages <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL4N3SX0HQ">began coverage</a> of Circle on Monday with broadly bullish ratings, although some analysts voiced concerns about its elevated valuation given that the stock has more than doubled since its market debut.
Barclays, Bernstein, Canaccord Genuity and Needham launched coverage with the equivalent of "buy" ratings and price targets above $200, while JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs had more bearish outlooks.

Bernstein has initiated coverage on Circle Internet Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $230, highlighting the company&#8217;s growing leadership in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/initiation/25/06/46034000/circles-flagship-stablecoin-usdc-set-for-rapid-growth-analyst-says-regulatory-climate-key">the stablecoin sector</a>.
What Happened: Bernstein analysts expect Circle's USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) to play a central role in the future of internet-scale payments.
The firm projects the total stablecoin market could grow from approximately $225 billion today to $4 trillion over the next decade, with Circle expected to capture a significant share, driven by its regulatory edge, liquidity lead, and strong distribution partnerships.
The analysts described Circle as a &#8220;must-hold&#8221; stock for investors looking to participate in the evolution of digital dollar networks beyond crypto trading, positioning it as a potential backbone of internet financial infrastructure.
Bernstein's bullish stance is tied to Circle's early regulatory advantages under the newly passed U.S. GENIUS Act, which establishes a clear framework for stablecoin issuers. 
This regulatory clarity is expected to solidify Circle's leadership as the largest regulated stablecoin issuer in the U.S.

Why It Matters: Circle's USDC is already widely used across major crypto exchanges such as Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Binance, providing the company with a strong liquidity network that is difficult for new entrants to replicate.
Bernstein's valuation, based on a 10-year discounted cash flow model, forecasts Circle's revenue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 47% from 2024 to 2027, driven by increasing USDC supply and wider adoption across financial services and payment platforms. 
The analysts expect adjusted EBITDA to grow at 71% annually over the same period.
While Circle's float income-based revenue model remains sensitive to interest rate cuts, Bernstein believes strong growth in USDC supply will offset this pressure. 
The firm noted that drawdown phases driven by declining rates could offer attractive entry points for long-term investors.
Bernstein's valuation assumes Circle will maintain a roughly 30% stablecoin market share over the long term, with a target valuation reflecting ~35x 2027 adjusted EBITDA.

Circle Internet, Hims & Hers Health And CoreWeave Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (June 23-27): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) is the top performer in the S&amp;P 500 for June, surging 43% and reaching its highest level since<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46131195/cathie-woods-thursday-crypto-moves-ark-unloads-nearly-25-million-in-coinbase-block-stocks"> its 2021 IPO. </a>
The rally follows the stock's inclusion in the index at the end of May and is supported by positive regulatory updates and new product launches. Coinbase's momentum began in April and marks its third consecutive monthly gain.

What To Know: Analysts credit Coinbase's strength to its S&amp;P 500 inclusion, the Senate's passage of the GENIUS Act and the strong performance of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NASDAQ">CRCL</a>), according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/coinbase-is-best-performing-stock-in-sp-500-in-june-and-may-move-higher.html">CNBC</a>.&nbsp;
Coinbase benefits from a revenue-sharing agreement with Circle, allowing it to capture all revenue from USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) held on its platform and nearly half of other USDC revenues—without incurring Circle's operating costs.
Coinbase has expanded its crypto services, launching a crypto-backed credit card with American Express, partnering with Shopify for stablecoin payments and collaborating with JPMorgan on a deposit token using its Base blockchain.&nbsp;
What Else: Coinbase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46123211/whats-going-on-with-coinbase-global-stock-thursday">shares surged further</a> on Thursday after the company announced the upcoming launch of US-regulated perpetual-style futures for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ether, (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)&nbsp; set to begin July 21.&nbsp;
This marks a major milestone, as such products have been largely unavailable to US traders, who have typically relied on offshore exchanges.&nbsp;
Coinbase's move aims to capture a significant share of this market by providing a domestic, regulated alternative.&nbsp;
The announcement coincided with Bernstein raising its price target on Coinbase stock from $310 to $510, citing rapid growth in derivatives and strong non-trading revenues from staking and the Base blockchain.&nbsp;

Coinbase Stock Is S&P 500's Best Performer For June: How It Got There

Attention is shifting from cryptocurrencies to equities and publicly traded companies like Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), and Circle Internet Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), which have surged ahead in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46131195/cathie-woods-thursday-crypto-moves-ark-unloads-nearly-25-million-in-coinbase-block-stocks">performance over the past month</a>.
What Happened: In an X <a href="https://x.com/MilkRoadDaily/status/1938318830981570978">post</a> on June 27, Milk Road Daily pointed out this outperformance.
Circle has led the pack with a 162% return in the last 30 days, while Coinbase and Robinhood gained between 30% and 35% during the same period. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) logged negative returns ranging from -2% to -18% over the same timeframe.
Scarcity Meets Demand
There are relatively few crypto-linked public equities available, yet institutional and retail investors are hungry for exposure to crypto-adjacent plays, especially ones that have real revenue, growth potential and U.S. government support.
Token vs. Equity Market Dynamics
While equities benefit from limited supply and strong fundamentals, the token market is suffering the opposite fate as capital flows into tokens are muted compared to past cycles. 
At the same time, the number of tokens continues to explode, creating over-saturation and weakening price performance.
This mismatch of low demand and excessive supply is weighing heavily on altcoins, many of which are bleeding value despite brief speculative rallies.

Why It Matters: Crypto trader ResDegen <a href="https://x.com/resdegen/status/1937588394114142462">noted</a> that Robinhood, Circle, and Coinbase have clear business models, real revenue streams, and growing legitimacy with regulators. 
They offer a tangible value proposition that's drawing capital away from more speculative crypto assets.
As Kaizen <a href="https://x.com/KAIZ3NS/status/1936096315391312221">noted</a> on X, one of the defining features of this cycle is that only a handful of stocks and coins have shown real outperformance, namely crypto equities and a few large caps. 
TradFi currently has a stronger appetite for crypto-linked equities than for alt tokens.
Even Web3-native investors are beginning to shift their view. 
Trader David Arnal <a href="https://x.com/davidarngar/status/1936117933907787929">said</a> he considers Coinbase a safer long-term bet than even Bitcoin, citing teal revenue, government support and a market capitalization comparable to Solana. 
"COIN is the best stock to own for the next few months," he added.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana Lag Behind Robinhood, Circle, Coinbase: Why Do Crypto Stocks Outperform Coins?

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, has recently been on a hot streak of successful and high-profile trades through her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46107133/cathie-wood-doubles-down-on-shopify-buys-the-dip-dumps-4-6-million-worth-of-robinhood-stock-at-peak">flagship ARK ETFs.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Wood's recent notable trades include selling a significant stake in Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) and increasing her investment in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). 
These moves reflect a strategic shift in ARK's portfolio, emphasizing established technology and semiconductor exposure while reducing positions in companies that have experienced rapid price appreciation.

Last week, ARK <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46041276/cathie-woods-ark-invest-adds-airbnb-amd-shopify-to-portfolio-slashes-stake-in-circle-internet">offloaded more than</a> 600,000 Circle shares for approximately $147.81 million, followed by more sales amounting to an additional nearly $100 million on Monday. 
Circle, known for issuing the USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin, had seen its stock surge more than 650% since its initial public offering on June 5. Wood's decision to sell appears to be a classic profit-taking move after such a meteoric rise.&nbsp;
At the same time, ARK has been ramping<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46066220/cathie-woods-ark-invest-cashes-out-109-million-out-of-circle-internet-stock-as-shares-spike-pivots-into-robinhood-and-these-chip-stocks"> up its stake</a> in AMD, purchasing over 130,000 shares on Monday and more than 247,000 shares in the previous week, totaling tens of millions of dollars in new investments.&nbsp;
AMD is increasingly recognized as a strong alternative to NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the AI chip market, with significant growth in data center and AI processor demand. 
AMD shares are up more than 30% over the past month. The stock received a boost from analyst upgrades, with CFRA raising its rating to Strong Buy and lifting its price target to $165 from $125.&nbsp;
The upgrade reflects growing confidence in AMD's position within the semiconductor and AI sectors, areas where ARK has shown sustained interest.
Wood's strategy appears to be a bet on the broader AI chip market rather than picking a single winner, as evidenced by her holdings in both AMD and Nvidia.&nbsp;
