Circle plunges, Invesco tokenization, NYSE tokenization, Bitcoin shift

Circle Internet Group fell roughly 19% after a draft of the Clarity Act surfaced, which would ban interest or yield on passive stablecoin balances. The proposed rules target structures economically equivalent to interest, directly threatening the yield incentives that have driven USDC adoption. Coinbase also dropped 11% in sympathy, given its role as Circle’s primary USDC distribution partner and the $364 million in stablecoin revenue it reported in Q4 2025. In other news, Invesco has been named investment manager for SuperState’s tokenized US Treasury Fund (USTB), overseeing day-to-day management of nearly $1 billion in on-chain assets while leaving the blockchain infrastructure in the hands of its creator. The fund, currently at $967 million, ranks among the five largest tokenized Treasury products globally. Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange announced a partnership with Securitize to develop its tokenized securities trading platform. Securitize will become the NYSE’s first digital transfer agent, enabling the issuance and management of stock and ETF shares as blockchain-based tokens in a compliant way. Finally, Bernstein projects Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of 2026, citing a shift toward institutional ownership, long-term holder concentration, and growing ETF adoption as stabilizing forces, challenging fears that the four-year cycle peaked in 2025. These are the key headlines shaping the crypto market today.
