We like CRCL but they have gotten away but Fiserve (FI) is right in the mix:

-
- Value/Attractive Entry: While the stock has popped, the long-term implications of its move into stablecoins and digital currency platforms could still be undervalued relative to its potential. It’s a large, established financial tech company entering a rapidly growing, high-interest sector.
- Positive Momentum: “Fiserv’s stock surges as it teams with Circle to join the stablecoin party,” “Fiserv stock pops on launch of new stablecoin.” The stock rallied significantly after announcing its new stablecoin (FIUSD) and partnership with Circle.
- New Catalyst:Stablecoin Legislation: The recent passing of the “Genius Act” (stablecoin bill) in the U.S. Senate provides a more structured regulatory environment, which is a major positive for companies entering this space. This legitimizes stablecoins and could lead to broader adoption by financial institutions.
- New Stablecoin Launch: The launch of FIUSD and its new digital currency platform signifies a direct entry into a high-growth area with significant potential for banking and payment flows.
- Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with industry leaders like PayPal and Circle strengthens its position and indicates broader industry acceptance.
I asked Boaty to run us a full report on them:
