Stablecoin Issuer Circle Unveils Enterprise-Focused Layer-1 Blockchain Project! Details Here
Stablecoin issuer Circle has officially announced Arc, its next-generation blockchain project designed for enterprise-grade financial transactions.
Circle Unveils “Arc,” Its Enterprise-Focused Layer-1 Blockchain
Developed as an open-source Layer-1 network, Arc aims to offer high scalability and reliability for stablecoin payments, foreign exchange (FX) transactions, and capital markets applications.
Compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Arc will allow developers to easily integrate their existing Ethereum-based applications.
One of the network's most notable features is the use of USDC as the native gas token for transaction fees. This allows users and institutions to simplify their payment processes by paying fees directly with the stablecoin.
Circle plans to launch Arc's public testnet in the fall of this year. Following the testnet phase, the mainnet is expected to become a key infrastructure, particularly for global payment providers, banks, and large-scale financial institutions.
The project is expected to expand USDC's use in various financial areas, such as payments, trading, and asset transfers. Circle officials state that Arc will make stablecoin-based financial solutions more efficient in terms of both speed and cost.
In the long term, Circle aims to position Arc as an attractive ecosystem not only for enterprise use but also for developers and fintech startups. This move is strategically important as it strengthens the company's position in the global stablecoin market.

Anthropic's third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, an increase of nearly 50% quarter-over-quarter, and achieved "adjusted profitability"—but the market remains unconvinced. The main concern lies in monthly growth slowing sharply from 33% to single digits, leaving a gap of several billion dollars short of the year-end $100 billion target. Token prices have hit historic lows, with the disconnect between volume and price becoming increasingly prominent. Whether this "good but not good enough" performance can support a $2 trillion IPO valuation remains uncertain.
