Circle has completed the casting of 10 billion ARC Genesis coins, but don’t rush to wait for an air drop. Officially, this is a technical milestone for the Arc mainnet launch—it does not equal a public offering or an airdrop promise. The first batch of verification nodes for Arc includes traditional financial institutions such as BlackRock and Visa. ARC will handle the coordination of network security, utility, and governance, but the gas fees are still settled at $USDC . As for the roadmap, Circle is exploring switching the consensus mechanism from PoA to PoS in 2027. What’s truly worth watching isn’t “yet another new coin,” but the fact that stablecoins are combining institutional validation, payment settlement, and public-chain governance. Before the distribution rules are implemented, it’s recommended to track only official information and beware of early-airdrop scam schemes.#Circle #Arc #stablecoin
