Bernstein reiterated Outperform on Circle with a $140 target, arguing the company&rsquo;s growth no longer depends on the Clarity Act after USDC supply added $1.7B in a week. Circle set September 16 for the public mainnet launch of Arc, its permissioned proof-of-authority chain backed by BlackRock, DTCC, Mastercard, Visa, and nine other founding validators. Strategy sold $2B in MSTR shares without buying any bitcoin, parking the proceeds in a $1.59B &ldquo;USD Cash&rdquo; pool, while Gemini and Apex inked a deal to distribute crypto event contracts through brokerage clients.
