Regarding Circle's latest financial report, in the first quarter of 2021, Circle's revenue increased by 20% year-on-year to $694 million, but its net profit decreased by 15% to $55 million, mainly due to a 76% increase in operating expenses such as stock compensation after going public.
The management reiterated the annual performance guidance: the target for the compound annual growth rate of USDC liquidity is 40%; Other revenue for the 2026 fiscal year is expected to be between $150 million and $170 million;
Overall, it is relatively stable, with a few highlights that I personally noticed:
1) USDC circulation increased by 28% to $77 billion, serving as the core driving force. The number of "active wallets" holding USDC above $10 has risen to 7.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 47%, and the user base continues to expand.
2) The ARC ecosystem has completed a pre-sale of $222 million, corresponding to a fully diluted valuation of $3 billion for the network, and has simultaneously released a white paper clarifying ARC as the native coordinating asset of the Arc network.
IPO first, then proceed with public chain coin issuance. It also created a new model, which is expected to impress PolyMarket in the future
3) The launch of the "Agent Stack" product line marks Circle's official entry into the field of AI agent economic infrastructure. This product suite includes the Circle CLI command-line interface, Agent Wallets proxy wallet, and Agent Marketplace proxy marketplace. Developers and merchants can use this to create and fund AI agents in multi chain environments and multi payment protocols, and obtain economic benefits from them. The underlying settlement assets are unified in USDC.
4) In terms of Circle Payment Network (CPN), its annualized transaction volume has reached $8.3 billion based on the activity measured in the 30 days before March 31. In April, Circle further launched the "Managed Payments" managed payment service, allowing financial institutions to quickly launch stablecoin payment capabilities without the need to manage digital assets themselves, significantly reducing the entry barrier for traditional institutions.
Personally, the business layout is commendable
