The chart visually supports the post's claim by illustrating how Circle's price swings dwarf those of the established payment networks, demonstrating the short-term market inefficiency for the newer IPO despite its overall appreciation since listing. > > "Though $CRCL has appreciated 84% since its IPO, this one-year chart illustrates the inefficiency of public equity markets in the short term. Many financial services analysts have built their long-term track records off of $V and $MA and cannot fathom Circle, the disrupter." ### Post #2 by @Mr_Derivatives > **Author:** Heisenberg ([@Mr_Derivatives](https://x.com/Mr_Derivatives)) > **Metrics:** 12 likes · 0 retweets · 8 comments · 3.8K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-23T00:01:22+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Mr_Derivatives/status/2091314821203636255](https://x.com/Mr_Derivatives/status/2091314821203636255) > > "$V and $MA are on the verge of breaking out to new ATH’s.
