# Why Circle (CRCL) rose 6.35% on November 4, 2026

Circle (CRCL) rose 6.35% on November 4, 2026 — Q3 beat and $104B USDC supply lift Circle.

## What happened

Circle reported Q3 results that beat consensus on both EPS and revenue, and USDC minted reached $104 billion.

## Why it moved

A top- and bottom-line beat, paired with a jump in USDC issuance, signals that the reserve float Circle earns income on is still compounding, so the market re-rated the shares up 6.4%.

## Why it matters

Circle is the regulated-stablecoin leg of the Crypto Stocks theme, which has been riding stablecoin clarity and new regulated trading access.

## What would break the thesis

Reserve income is the swing factor: if it weakens, USDC growth slows, or management trims forward expectations, the beat won't hold the move, and the theme's softening crypto volumes could pull the shares back.
