Circle’s Arc blockchain is officially live.
Arc is being built specifically around stablecoin finance, tokenized assets and institutional settlement.
$USDC is the native gas asset, transactions reach finality in under a second, and the founding validator group includes BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard and other major financial institutions.
More than 100 institutional and ecosystem builders are already involved, with protocols like Aave and Uniswap among the projects integrating with Arc.
Circle calls it an “Economic OS.”
Now we get to see whether Arc can actually become infrastructure that serious financial activity runs on.
