Crypto-linked stocks advanced Monday after Senate Republicans released a revised Clarity Act draft ahead of a planned procedural vote on Tuesday. The changes addressed Democrats' ethics and banking-industry concerns and could improve the bill's passage prospects, Benzinga Pro reported. Circle signed a definitive agreement on Sept. 8 to acquire Singapore-based cross-border payments platform Tazapay, with closing expected in 2027 subject to customary conditions and approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (Singapore's financial regulator). Tazapay processes more than $25 billion in annualized payment volume, has over 60 banking and fintech partners, offers payout access in more than 100 markets, and handles about 60% of its volume through stablecoins (crypto tokens designed to maintain stable value). Circle aims to use the deal to expand USDC stablecoin adoption across Asia-Pacific and emerging markets. Tazapay has been a design partner for the Circle Payments Network since 2025. Circle reported $1.73 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods initiated coverage on Sept. 8 with a Market Perform rating and a $105 price forecast.
