USD Coin on Arc

USDC on Arc is the dollar on Circle's own chain, an open layer 1 purpose-built for financial markets and real-time money movement. Fees are paid in USDC, with no volatile native token required, so every cost is predictable and dollar-based, and a transfer settles in under a second with deterministic finality. The founding validator cohort includes BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard and Standard Chartered. Arc is fully EVM-compatible, and since mainnet opened in September 2026, Uniswap anchors its trading and Morpho serves as its credit layer, so a balance here is a dollar that trades and earns without leaving the chain.
