Fundamentals:
- Est P/E ratio = 46.6 (cb is ~46 but they are more than just a stablecoin)
- If/When trsy yield drops, they start losing money really fast
- Other stats (see pic below)

Degen/Hype/Growth:
- $7.2B market cap is basically free compared to Ethena or Maker.
- BlackRock and Ark need exposure to stablecoins
- Congress/gov is passing laws (GENIUS Act)
- Literally the ONLY stablecoin/crypto exposure institutions can access (aside from Coinbase — who gets paid by Circle anyway).

Very interested to see how this Circle IPO goes this week

Circle is eyeing a $7.2B valuation as investor demand seems to be heating up 

The fundamentals don't seem to back up this valuation but the market demand for stablecoin exposure is so strong that this valuation seems untethered from the underlying business
