Circle’s new Arc blockchain processed $410.8M in DEX volume and 7.76M transactions on its first day of mainnet.
Arc is a new Layer-1 built around stablecoins, payments, tokenised assets, FX and AI-driven transactions, with USDC used for gas.

The real question is whether businesses, financial institutions and AI agents start using Arc at scale.
The infrastructure is live.
Now we see what gets built on it.
