Stablecoin Stocks on Fire: Rational Exuberance or Dangerous Bubble?

The Numbers Don’t Lie (But Context Does)

Watching FISG’s 10% vertical climb today felt like déjà vu – we saw this same playbook when PayPal launched PYUSD. The entire stablecoin ecosystem is boiling:

• Urobrigin & Hailian Jinhui hit exchange limits (+10%)
• Lakala/Huafeng Chaoxian averaged +5%
• This follows Circle’s 600% moonshot since IPO

Behind the Headlines: A Reality Check

Having audited multiple stablecoin reserves, I see two legitimate drivers:

1. Institutional adoption: BlackRock’s BUIDL fund now holds $500M in USDC
2. Regulatory clarity progress (MiCA Phase 2 drafts)

But my inner INTJ screams caution. Three red flags:

• 🚩 P/E ratios averaging 47x (vs crypto-native firms at 22x)
• 🚩 90-day correlation between stocks and BTC just hit 0.89 – dangerous coupling
• 🚩 Circle still hasn’t filed Q2 attestation reports (delayed 3 weeks)

Technical Take: Wait for the Pullback

The hourly chart shows FISG testing its upper Bollinger Band while RSI kisses 72. History says: Room for maybe 5% upside → Then expect 15-20% correction by August options expiry.

Pro tip: Watch the USDC/Tether dominance ratio – if it crosses 28%, these stocks could face liquidity pressure.
