Circle launches Arc blockchain with USDC as native settlement token

Circle, the issuer of USDC stablecoin, has debuted Arc, a new blockchain designed for payments, tokenized assets and institutional finance. The mainnet supports more than 20 fiat stablecoins and links to over 20 blockchains, positioning Arc as infrastructure for the emerging tokenized finance market.

The launch reflects intensifying competition among stablecoin issuers and payment networks as traditional finance institutions move into blockchain settlement. #marche #regulation
