Circle’s Arc blockchain has officially launched its mainnet, with USDC serving as the native gas token and more than 190 institutional and ecosystem builders involved.
The launch gives Circle its own blockchain infrastructure designed around stablecoin powered financial activity, rather than simply issuing USDC across existing networks.
The institutional focus is what makes this interesting. Circle announced its founding validator cohort and major integrations ahead of the launch, positioning Arc around payments, trading, capital markets and other financial applications.
Circle isn’t just building a stablecoin anymore. It’s building infrastructure around the dollar onchain. $SOL
