Circle Internet Financial Inc.’s shares continued their blistering run on Friday, climbing as much as 26% to about $128 during regular trading and extending gains to roughly $137 in after-hours dealing. The stock had finished Thursday at $107, leaving it about 241% above its $31 initial public offering price just weeks ago.

Market participants attributed the surge to two pre-market announcements tied to the stablecoin industry and growing anticipation of a congressional vote on the GENIUS Act, slated for early next week. The legislation is expected to lay out a regulatory framework for dollar-pegged tokens, a business core to Circle’s operations.

Circle’s rally stood out on a day when most U.S. equities fell, underscoring investor appetite for firms perceived to benefit from clearer digital-asset rules. The stock has added roughly 37% this week alone, reinforcing its status as one of 2025’s strongest debut performers.

I am seeing a bunch of niche software names starting to get pretty cheap again. Anyone have strong opinions on $MLNK, $IIIV, $JAMF, $NABL, $ZETA, $BRZE? Or others I should take a look at?
