$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$
Circle Internet shares fell 5% Tuesday morning after Bloomberg reported that Visa, Stripe and more than 100 other financial firms are joining forces to launch a new stablecoin venture.
The new initiative, known as Open Standard, will issue its own US dollar-backed stablecoin called Open USD, according to a blog post shared with Bloomberg News. Supporters of the venture include Visa Inc., Stripe Inc., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., BlackRock Inc., Klarna Group Plc, Chime Financial Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Coinbase Global Inc.
Circle Internet shares continued to be oversold in the market.
