As announced, Bybit has listed USDC deposits and withdrawals on the Arc chain, enabling seamless cross-chain interactions. To celebrate this integration, Bybit is rolling out three limited-time campaigns: - Zero-Fee Withdrawal Plan: Temporarily waives network and transaction fees for Arc chain USDC transfers. - Lucky Deposit Draw: During the promotion, users depositing via the Arc chain will receive entries to win a share of a 110,000 USDC prize pool. - High-Yield Staking: Deposit via the Arc chain and meet eligibility criteria to earn exclusive staking rewards with an annual percentage rate (APR) of up to 200%. The campaigns will launch successively starting September 17, 2026.
According to the official announcement, Bitget has now completed the integration of USD Coin (USDC) on the Arc network and simultaneously enabled deposit and withdrawal services.
Robinhood announced that it will support Circle's Arc network, allowing users to directly deposit and withdraw USDC on the network.
well-known trader Bonk Guy posted in a TG channel stating that Arc is essentially a stablecoin public chain, and suitable use cases such as stablecoins may be found in the future. Although he has already bought Meme coins on the Arc chain, he plans to hold them for only a few days at most, and emphasized that if participating in Meme coin trading on Arc, it should be treated as a short-term opportunity.Bonk Guy further pointed out that for a long time, Arc has been one of the "best-executed" public chain launches. In the early stages after launch, the project connected to multiple key platforms such as FOMO and DEX Screener, with major launch platforms including Argus, Tolly, Lift, and Long. However, Arc is not the next Robinhood, BNB, or Solana, and users should participate cautiously, noting that treating it as a similar public chain may lead to losses.
Odaily reports: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, an address bridged CRCL from the Robinhood network to the Arc network via Long on September 8, and subsequently invested $487.6 across three tokens: LONG, BITCOIN, and USDC. The cost basis for LONG was $0.0000136. Currently, the address has an unrealized profit of $578,000, representing a return rate of 118,483%.
Interest from users seeking early positioning in the Arc chain ecosystem under Circle continues to surge, with premiums for related USDC exchanges peaking at 1.8x. According to official updates, Crab.fun, a Meme issuance platform built for Arc, will roll out its Early Access version on the Base chain tonight at 21:00 to attract users and creators, securing early footholds in the Arc Meme ecosystem. According to reports, the Crab.fun Early Access utilizes the Strategy Vault issuance framework. A 1.5% trading fee applies, with creators waiving their revenue share: 1% flows into the Community Strategy Vault, and 0.5% is allocated for protocol buybacks. Under the Strategy mode, creators must nominate three fomo.family (http://fomo.family/) IDs as candidate traders. Once the vault accumulates 10,000 USDC, claims open. The first verified participant becomes the permanent Strategic Trader for the token and can deploy vault capital across markets including crypto, memes, equities, forex, commodities, and indices. Trading profits are split evenly: 50% goes to the trader, and the remaining 50% funds buybacks of the community token. The Crab.fun Early Access will open 80% of the token supply for subscription at a fixed price. Upon reaching the 4,000 USDC graduation milestone, tokens will be instantly mapped and airdropped to users at a 1:1 ratio.
Odaily News: Unipcs (Bonk Guy) posted on X platform stating that he had not conducted sufficient research on the ecosystem before previously posting Arc-related content, and now believes that the Arc ecosystem is more complete than originally expected, and claimed that the original post was not compensated in any way.He stated that he has not yet profited from Arc-related activities, and that all Arc concept tokens he has purchased have been transferred to his FOMO wallet, and he will not touch these tokens until the integration feature goes live.
Odaily Odaily News: Wall Street investment firm Bernstein has reaffirmed its "Outperform" rating on stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Financial, maintaining a $140 price target.Bernstein stated that Circle's second-quarter performance effectively addressed previous market concerns regarding intensifying stablecoin competition and the growth potential of reserve asset income. Analysts believe that Circle's expanding partnerships, regulatory licensing progress, and the upcoming Arc blockchain project will bring new revenue streams to the company—growth drivers that are not yet fully reflected in current market expectations.As the stablecoin market continues to expand, Circle is expected to further broaden its business model through payment infrastructure, on-chain financial services, and ecosystem collaborations, with its future growth potential still underestimated by the market.

According to The Block, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, noted that three enterprise-grade blockchains—Arc (by Circle), Canton Network, and Tempo (by Stripe)—have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding recently. All three funding rounds occurred after the signing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. Hougan believes this legislation broke a prior regulatory stalemate that had discouraged institutional capital from entering the space. Hougan identified three key signals: First, all three blockchains prioritize native privacy-preserving transactions as a core design feature, addressing institutions’ need for transaction confidentiality. Second, the implementation of the GENIUS Act has significantly reduced regulatory uncertainty; the next critical variable is the pending Clarity Act, from which stablecoins and tokenization infrastructure stand to benefit. Third, these blockchains are backed by top-tier institutions—including Goldman Sachs, Citadel, BlackRock, Stripe, and Visa—marking a stark contrast to Ethereum and Solana, which emerged from grassroots origins. Hougan stated that his firm’s capital remains primarily allocated to native crypto projects, and he believes these emerging enterprise chains will raise the overall competitive bar and attract additional capital inflows.
Odaily News Trader 0xSun posted stating that news-driven trading remains one of the more cost-effective strategies in the current crypto market, with its core lying in the directionality and volatility brought by events.Reviewing several recent events, including abnormal ETH transactions, Arc fee adjustments, TAO ecosystem changes, RAVE-related investigations, and the KelpDAO security incident, all triggered significant price fluctuations within a short period. He believes that participating in such opportunities relies on either the speed of information acquisition or the ability to judge the impact of events.Furthermore, he indicated that as the recent altcoin market has gradually cooled down, he has resumed the strategy of going long on BTC while hedging by shorting some altcoin assets. He believes that against the backdrop of relatively weak liquidity and the fading of certain narratives, the overall performance of altcoins may face relatively more pressure.
