USDC Market Driver: DeFi, Not Payments
Circle's stablecoin USDC finds its primary use case in DeFi trading rather than traditional payments. This directly ties Circle's financial performance to the ebbs and flows of the cryptocurrency market—rising demand during bull runs and contraction in bear markets.

The author suggests that short-term trading opportunities may arise around crypto market sentiment, but investors should remain cautious about industry cycles and regulatory risks.
