(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) shares are trading over 7% higher Monday, extending a rally of more than 85% over the past month. Here&#8217;s a look at the key developments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/node/45821941">fueling the move</a>.
What To Know: Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, kicked off June with an IPO priced at $31 per share. The stock opened for trading on the New York Stock Exchange at $69 per share and has continued to see strong momentum.
The IPO raised approximately $1.1 billion through the sale of 34 million Class A shares — 14.8 million from the company and 19.2 million from existing shareholders. Underwriters were also granted a 30-day option to purchase up to 5.1 million additional shares.
In late June, Circle shares continued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/node/46056731">climbing after the</a> company announced a partnership with Fiserv to build stablecoin-enabled solutions for financial institutions and merchants within the Fiserv ecosystem.
The collaboration combines Circle's USDC platform and payments network with Fiserv's digital banking tools, expanding access to digital dollar infrastructure and connecting real-world payments to an internet-native financial layer.
Circle shares also got a boost after the Senate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45995223/genius-stablecoin-bill-clears-senate-but-trumps-crypto-profits-loom-over-momentum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">passed the GENIUS act</a>, or Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act. 
The stock has also attracted broad analyst attention over the last month, with several analysts initiating coverage with lofty price targets. Analyst firms including Needham, Cannacord Genuity and Barclays all announced price targets above $200.
Circle has a consensus price target of $183.75, according to Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRCL/analyst-ratings">analyst data</a>. Estimates range from a low of $80 to a high of $250.
Circle stock has rallied over 85% during the past month of trading, while the S&amp;P 500 has gained approximately 6.25%.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Ramit Sethi is one of the few financial gurus who is okay with people spending their money on discretionary items. Some of these purchases may seem like a waste of money, and while he's okay with it, there are some caveats.&nbsp;
Sethi is only okay with people making those types of purchases if they can afford it, and there's one common mistake people make that convinces them that it's okay to bite more than they can chew. He's talking about people who <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgFZH47Tjoo">take out long-term loans</a> with monthly payments, and he's specifically pointing the finger at people who buy trucks.
"This is not a financial strategy. This is a trap," Sethi explains.

<li>Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a></li>
</ul>
Sethi went on to share that he's talked with many people who are struggling with their finances but somehow have a truck with a loan. There's a lot of pride involved in that truck, and monthly loan payments make it seem more affordable. Sethi breaks down why this type of thinking is flawed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do You Really Need The Truck?</h2>
Sethi angled some of the discussion specifically to people who buy trucks. He mentioned someone who earns $65,000 per year and bought a $90,000 truck with a loan. Sethi said that the person can't afford the truck even though the monthly loan payments fit in the budget.
The issue with using monthly loan payments in this way is that it takes up space in your monthly budget for multiple years. That's several years of not being able to invest that money or use it to cover expenses. Sethi explained that he's had many conversations with people who are in financial trouble because of their trucks and SUVs, but he then pondered if those individuals really need those vehicles.
It's possible to rent the vehicles instead or downgrade to a used model. He also finds it ironic that some of the same people who criticize women who buy expensive handbags proceed to buy trucks that they cannot afford.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interest Will Accumulate In Long-Term Loans</h2>
Most people need loans to buy homes and cars, but considering how interest accumulates in lengthy loans can make you think twice before buying something that you can't afford. All loans are amortized so that the bulk of your initial payments go toward interest.
Sethi explains that you can end up paying thousands of additional dollars by taking out a lengthy auto loan. While 30-year mortgages are the norm for homes, most people shouldn't be taking out seven-year auto loans.
You can find more affordable cars in the used car market and end up with a loan that has fewer years on it. Car dealers want you to think about covering something within your monthly budget because they can then have you commit to a long-term loan that has lower monthly payments. This may sound good at the moment, but interest payments will make the vehicle far more expensive.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pay Off Debt Quickly</h2>
A mortgage here and an auto loan there can quickly add up as you make your regular purchases each month. The gravity of debt can feel unsettling for people who are financially struggling, and that's why it is important to pay it off as quickly as possible.
If you make an additional payment toward your auto loan or mortgage each month, you get to directly reduce the principal instead of only making the amortized monthly payment. After paying off your auto loan, you can use that momentum to pay off your mortgage sooner.
It's incredibly freeing once you pay off your debt, but you shouldn't rush to put yourself in debt. Long-term loans restrict your ability to buy other products and services, and you should walk into any big purchase knowing how much you can afford. If you end up with a loan, it's a good idea to pay it off before it matures.

Reuters Cites EU Sources Saying EU Will Not Be Receiving Letter Setting Out Higher Tariffs From The United States

Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on Monday announced the launch of a $4.2 billion ATM stock offering, aiming to scale its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45800186/bitcoin-stock-strategy-buy-or-sell-what-technicals-reveal-for-michael-saylors-mstr">enhance capital flexibility</a>.
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.strategy.com/strd-atm-launch-07-07-2025">offering</a> involves the sale of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD), as unveiled during an investor <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1942200866158596465">presentation</a> by CEO Phong Lee and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
The proceeds will be used to purchase more Bitcoin, fund general corporate operations, and support dividend payments for other preferred stock classes, including (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRK#NASDAQ">STRK</a>) and (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRF#NASDAQ">STRF</a>). 
The company plans to sell the shares in a gradual, market-aware manner, potentially via block trades or negotiated deals.
This move follows a brief pause in Bitcoin purchases from June 30 to July 6, marking the first break in BTC accumulation in over three months. In late May, Strategy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45564703/strategy-unveils-2-1b-at-the-market-program-to-acquire-more-bitcoin">announced</a> a $2.1 billion ATM program for acquiring BTC.
The new offering is part of Strategy's expanded "42/42" capital plan, which aims to raise $84 billion for Bitcoin acquisitions by 2027, double its original "21/21" goal. The firm disclosed that the plan is already 38% complete.
In Q2, Strategy raised $6.8 billion via ATM sales of MSTR common stock and preferred shares STRK, STRF, and the initial STRD offering.

Why It Matters: In a post on X on July 5, Saylor emphasized that MSTR, BTC, and STRK represent three forms of Bitcoin exposure.

As of now, Strategy holds 597,325 BTC, worth over $65 billion, purchased at an average price of $70,982 per coin, totaling $42.4 billion in cost. This amounts to 2.8% of Bitcoin's total supply, resulting in $22.6 billion in unrealized profits.
In Q2, the company reported $14.05 billion in paper gains and a $4.04 billion deferred tax liability, highlighting the scale and impact of its crypto-focused strategy.

Strategy Launches $4.2 Billion Offering To Fuel Further Bitcoin Accumulation

President Donald Trump sent markets into a tailspin Monday after officially announcing sweeping 25% tariffs on all imports from Japan and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">South Korea, starting Aug. 1. </a>
The new tariffs apply to all goods from the two Asian economies and are in addition to any existing sector-specific duties.
The new 25% tariffs follow earlier duties set on April 2 — 24% for Japan and 25% for South Korea — after the U.S. claimed trade barriers and currency practices raised effective rates to 46% and 50%, respectively. The hike comes after a 90-day negotiation window, announced April 9, which expired without deals.
In official letters sent to both governments, Trump said the tariffs are necessary to correct "unsustainable trade deficits" caused by "years of tariff and non-tariff policies and trade barriers." He added that any goods transshipped to evade the duties will be charged the higher rate.
Trump emphasized the measure was moderate, saying the 25% rate is "far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity." He also invited Japanese and South Korean firms to move production to the U.S., promising quick and professional regulatory approvals.
Trump stated that if trading partners were to raise their own tariffs, the U.S. would match that increase by adding the same percentage to its newly announced 25% tariff rate.
Earlier in the week, U.S. officials a separate deadline for reaching a deal with the European Union — before EU goods are subjected to duties of up to 50% — was set for Wednesday.
The tariff developments comes as the U.S. sets a separate deadline for reaching a trade agreement with the European Union. Without a deal, EU goods could face duties as high as 50%, compounding global trade concerns.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Slip, Dollar Rallies After Sweeping Tariffs</h1>
By midday trading in New York, the S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.9% to 6,220 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 1.1%, losing more than 450 points to 44,320.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) — also known as the market&#8217;s fear gauge — rallied 11%. Each S&amp;P 500 sector traded in the red with cyclical stocks underperforming. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) was the worst performer in both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100.
The EV giant sank 7.4% after Elon Musk announced the launch of the America Party, a new political movement aimed at challenging both Democrats and Republicans over federal spending in Washington. 
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar index surged 0.6%, marking its strongest session in nearly three weeks, as investors fled to the greenback amid rising global uncertainty.
The greenback jumped over 1% against the Japanese yen and gained 1.2% against the South Korean won.
U.S. Treasury yields moved higher, with the 10-year bond yield climbing four basis points to 4.39%. Higher tariffs typically stoke inflation fears, which in turn can pressure bond prices and lift yields.
Gold pared earlier losses, buoyed by demand for safe-haven assets in the face of rising trade tensions.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged down 0.7% to $108,000, extending its streak to 46 consecutive sessions without breaking its all-time high of $112,000.

Wall Street Slumps, Dollar Jumps After Trump's Tariff Blitz: What's Moving Markets Monday?

Reuters Reports US Treasury Saying Experiencing Technical Issue With 13-Week, 26-Week Bill Auctions

Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JSPR#NASDAQ">JSPR</a>) stock is experiencing a steep decline on Monday, plummeting by nearly 55%. This significant drop is accompanied by an exceptionally high trading volume of 9.9 million shares, vastly exceeding its average daily volume of 251.9K, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed">Benzinga Pro</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened?</h2>
The company reported updated data from the BEACON Phase 1b/2a study of subcutaneous briquilimab in adult chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) participants and provided an update on the program. It reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42869894/jasper-therapeutics-reports-positive-data-from-beacon-study-of-briquilimab-in-chronic-spontaneous-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">preliminary data in January</a>.
The primary endpoints are briquilimab&#8217;s safety and tolerability, and the secondary endpoints are focused on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46271172/jasper-therapeutics-reports-clinical-data-update-from-briquilimab-studies-in-chronic-spontaneous-u" rel="noreferrer noopener">clinical activity and PK/PD</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45647285/inflarx-ends-lead-asset-development-after-failed-study-for-rare-and-painful-skin-disease" rel="noreferrer noopener">InflaRx Ends Lead Asset Development After Failed Study For Rare And Painful Skin Disease</a>
Primary measurements used to assess clinical activity were the sum of the Hives Severity Score and the daily Itch Severity Score (ISS), as measured via the Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days (UAS7) on a 0 to 42-point scale.
Briquilimab administration resulted in disease control in the 240mg and 360mg single-dose cohorts.
Eight of nine (89%) participants enrolled across both cohorts achieved a complete response, and seven of nine (78%) achieved a clinical response by week 2.
Reductions in UAS7 scores were reported with a mean change from baseline at 4 weeks of 28.3 points in the 240mg single-dose cohort and 22.9 points in the 360mg single-dose cohort.
In addition, BEACON participants who rolled over into the open-label extension study dosing at 180mg Q8W demonstrated clinical efficacy with 8 of 11 (73%) participants achieving a complete response at 12 weeks.
Results from the 240mg Q8W and the 240mg followed by 180mg Q8W dose cohorts appear to be confounded by an issue with one drug product lot used in those cohorts, with 10 of the 13 patients dosed with drug from the lot in question.
The company is investigating the drug product lot in question. It expects to have the investigation results in the coming weeks.
Key observations noted in those 10 patients were lower than expected drops in mean tryptase levels and no discernable impact on UAS7 scores. The 2 participants enrolled in the cohorts that have been confirmed as being dosed with drug product from a different lot both achieved complete response.
The company also plans to enroll an additional 10-12 patients across the 240mg Q8W and the 240mg followed by 180mg Q8W cohorts to ensure a robust data set to inform the Phase 2b CSU study.
Data from the additional BEACON patients is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, and commencement of the Phase 2b study is now expected in mid-2026.
The company has also determined that the drug product lot in question was used to treat participants enrolled in the ETESIAN trial evaluating briquilimab in asthma.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters?</h2>
To focus resources on advancing briquilimab in CSU, the company is halting the asthma study and pausing development.
In addition, the company is halting development in SCID and will implement several other cost-cutting measures, including a potential restructuring, to extend the runway and reduce expenses.
Briquilimab treatment also resulted in deep and durable disease control in the open-label extension study evaluating briquilimab at 180mg Q8W, with 8 of 11 participants (73%) achieving a complete response at the week 12 assessment.
Substantial reductions in tryptase were observed as early as the week 1 assessment and were correlated with the onset of clinical responses. Tryptase levels below the lower limit of quantification were reported for 8 of 10 (80%) participants across the 240mg and 360mg single-dose cohorts.
Briquilimab was tolerated well in the BEACON study and the open-label extension, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed.
Price Action: JSPR stock is down 54.5% at $3.08 at the last check on Monday.
