🔸 edgeX × Arc officially announced yesterday
Circle has its own L1; edgeX is the exchange that went live on Day 1. The Arc account is already open—150+ perpetuals are up and running, with BTC, gold, the Nasdaq, and U.S. individual stocks all in one trading platform. Arc’s native USDC goes directly into edgeX as margin, and settlements are also in USDC—no bridging back and forth.
I just saw that the Arc Genesis event has also been launched. Register, deposit, and trade correspond to three separate rewards:
1️⃣ Airdrop pack of 5,000 $EDGE . You’ll receive it if your assets are greater than 500 USDC, plus an additional 3% annualized daily settlement. Note: it’s a unlock-based reward—released gradually based on the actual trading fees you paid (3%-5%). After unlocking, it linearly releases over 30 days.
2️⃣ Trading competition, with a prize pool up to 500,000 USDC. You become eligible when cumulative trading volume reaches 10,000 USDC; the final top 100 traders share the prizes. The prize pool unlocks in steps based on the total event volume—the more participants, the bigger the pool.
3️⃣ Experience-trading spot account airdrop: 5,000 random slots are distributed. Both new and existing users can win; if you don’t use it within 7 days, it expires.
The event window is about one month. First go to the event page and click Register, then start trading! If you’re interested, head to the official site to check it out~
