Circle Internet Group has announced that Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Fox-Geen will step down from his by the end of 2026, closing out a tenure of more than five years at the stablecoin issuer. Circle disclosed the leadership transition on Sept. 25, 2026. The end-of-year deadline sets out a roughly three-month window from the announcement for the handover, and attention now turns to who Circle appoints as Fox-Geen's successor and how the transition is managed ahead of the departure date.
Fox-Geen joined Circle as chief financial officer in 2021 and has held the position since.
Circle is the issuer of USDC, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin launched in 2018 that ranks among the largest stablecoins by market capitalization. The company also issues EURC, a stablecoin pegged to the euro. In June 2025, Circle completed an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, where its shares trade under the ticker CRCL. The finance chief's seat carries particular weight at a stablecoin issuer: the CFO typically oversees financial reporting and reserve-related disclosure, functions central to confidence in tokens such as USDC and subject to heightened scrutiny now that Circle trades on a major exchange. Circle also operates in a sector with a new federal framework — the GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, established rules for payment stablecoin issuers.
The CFO transition was first reported by CoinGape.
