  • Circle shares rose 44.05% in August before declining on September 1.

  • Arc public mainnet is scheduled to open on September 16, 2026.

Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL) rose 44.05% over four weeks to finish August at $95.55, helped by a recovery from the low $60s and a 9.65% gain on August 31. The stock then fell 5.85% to $89.96 on September 1, with TradingView recording a $90.10 price at 15:11 UTC. Wall Street remains sharply divided: the consensus 12-month target was $103.55, with forecasts ranging from $37 to $243 across 27 analysts. The rally accompanied Bitcoin reaching $80,000 and broader crypto-equity strength, while Circle also announced Arc developments, second-quarter results and an IBM blockchain-patent acquisition. Arc, Circle's Layer-1 network (base blockchain for applications), is scheduled to open its public mainnet on September 16, creating a potential company-specific catalyst that coincides with the Federal Reserve's next interest-rate decision. Technically, CRCL remains above its 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages, but September's direction may depend first on whether it reclaims the $95-$96 resistance area or breaks below the $88-$90 support zone.
