BlackRock dives deeper into crypto yield as Bitcoin bleeds — long the stablecoin
Created
Thesis
While speculative crypto assets see massive outflows with BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF shedding hundreds of millions, the world's largest asset manager is expanding its footprint into DeFi through Ethena, indicating a preference for regulated crypto yield products over spot crypto. This Wall Street pivot toward stablecoins and payment infrastructure validates the business model of Circle. Even with the launch of a new stablecoin competitor driving a temporary 17% dip in Circle's stock, Bernstein views this as a major buying opportunity with a $190 price target.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum strategy on CRCL using D1 timeframe. Enter long when CRCL closes up 3% on the day while broader crypto market cap is flat or down (BTC in the red). Exit if CRCL drops below its 14-day low or after a 30-day max hold.
