News linked to both this project and an event.
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.
Uniswap has announced that Uniswap v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX have integrated Arc, Circle's Layer 1 network built for stablecoin finance, and will serve as its preferred DEX from day one of Arc mainnet launch. Users can swap tokens, provide liquidity, and build applications on Arc through the Uniswap web app, wallet, and API.cirBTC, issued by Circle and backed by its custody-held Bitcoin, is now live on Uniswap. Institutions can mint and redeem it through Circle Mint, while other users can trade cirBTC or provide liquidity for it. Pools has become Arc's official token launch platform. Tokens launched through Pools will enter Uniswap v4 liquidity pools paired with USDC, with liquidity permanently locked and no launch platform fees charged; projects can choose instant launch or a 1-hour Crowd Launch. Developers can also integrate Arc trading functionality into applications or agents through the Uniswap API.
Bitget Wallet announced its completion of network integration on the very first day of Arc's launch, delivering stablecoin-native on-chain financial infrastructure to 100 million users. Bitget Wallet users can now add the Arc mainnet directly within the wallet, swap for Arc native tokens, and bridge assets from mainstream chains like Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Base to the Arc network. As one of the first aggregators integrated with Arc, the enterprise-grade API platform Bitget Wallet X has launched multi-chain liquidity aggregation, cross-chain transfer, and market data APIs, enabling developers to build Arc-native applications directly without needing to construct their own liquidity routing. Bitget Wallet plans to further deepen its integration with Arc. Arc is a Layer 1 network purpose-built for global payments, foreign exchange, and capital markets. It natively uses USDC to pay gas fees and delivers sub-second transaction finality. To date, its public testnet has processed over 500 million transactions, supporting nearly 3 million wallets. This integration will further expand Bitget Wallet's stablecoin payment infrastructure, accelerating the adoption of stablecoins in everyday cross-border payments and consumer use cases.
Odaily reports: Circle launched the Arc public chain's public mainnet on September 16, 2026. The first batch of 11 founding validators includes BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. Arc uses USDC as its native gas token and supports sub-second finality and optional privacy features, targeting stablecoin payments, real-world assets, and tokenized markets; BlackRock plans to deploy the BUIDL fund to Arc to support on-chain subscriptions and redemptions. Circle stated that the entire initial supply was minted in the United States this week, but this is only a technical milestone and does not represent a commitment to a public offering; the company is exploring a transition of its consensus mechanism from Proof of Authority to Proof of Stake in 2027.
According to official news, Alph Ai has officially integrated with the Arc chain and launched an Arc cross-chain trading portal, allowing users to quickly bridge from Solana, BSC, Base, and other networks into the Arc ecosystem to directly participate in Arc-related asset trading.Alph Ai stated that it has completed product support during the Arc ecosystem's early stage. Users can track Arc ecosystem Launchpad activity through the platform and trade Arc native tokens. Gas fees on the Arc chain can be paid directly with USDC, eliminating the need for users to prepare additional native Gas assets and lowering the barrier to entry for trading on the new chain.
Odaily reports, citing monitoring by Ai Yi, that approximately 2 hours after the launch of Arc, the public chain developed by Circle, the total amount of USDC on the network has reached 372 million, accounting for about 0.05% of the total USDC supply, with the current total number of on-chain addresses at approximately 176,000.Previously, some users bridged to Arc ahead of the mainnet launch at an 80%-100% USDC premium in order to participate in early Meme coin trading.
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%.
Odaily reports: Pump.fun officially announced that on the first day Arc Chain goes live, it will be supported by the Pump.fun app. Users can seamlessly trade any token on Arc Chain with USDC, earn Callout rewards, and enjoy near-zero transaction fees.The news was subsequently reposted and endorsed by the Circle CEO, and the official Arc Chain account responded in the comments section: "Built for this."

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.
in response to community skepticism, Arc ecosystem Launchpad Long posted on X platform stating that the stock tokens issued by Long are backed 1:1 by real stocks held on Robinhood. The relevant asset backing can be verified through on-chain bridge vaults, and 1:1 redemption is available between Robinhood Chain and Arc.It stated that Arc native USDC currently has approximately a 2x premium due to the cross-chain bridge not yet being open, causing stock tokens denominated in it to show prices lower than the underlying stock market prices. With the Arc public mainnet and native USDC cross-chain bridge opening on September 16, the premium is expected to gradually return to normal. At that time, Long also plans to provide deep liquidity for the CRCL/USDC trading pair, and launch a stock rewards model, Launchpad native USDC support, and more stock issuers.Previously—hilariously—Arc mainnet will launch on September 16. BonkGuy posted today stating that it has recently begun short-term positioning in Arc, having already purchased LONG, the native token of Arc's main Launchpad, as well as the top three Meme coins by market cap on the platform. Subsequently, crypto KOL 0xShawn stated that the long.supply platform is a platform that has rug permissions at any time.
Odaily reports: Bonk Guy posted on X platform stating that over the past few weeks, multiple developers associated with the Arc ecosystem have proactively reached out to him, hoping to attract Meme coin traders during the network's early launch phase. He believes that the Arc team has recognized that Meme coin trading is one of the ways for a new chain to rapidly boost on-chain activity, and may be borrowing Robinhood Chain's previous ecosystem cold-start playbook.BonkGuy stated that he had not previously paid much attention to Arc, but has recently begun making short-term positioning moves, having already purchased LONG, the native token of Arc's main Launchpad, as well as the top three Meme coins by market cap on that platform. However, he emphasized that his positioning in Arc is merely a short-term high-risk attempt and has not changed his long-term view that on-chain trading activity on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana is more promising.Previous reports indicate that the Arc mainnet will launch on September 16.
据官方消息，Bitget Wallet 将于 Arc 主网上线首日添加支持。
since the beginning of this week, the on-chain momentum driven by Robinhood Chain has temporarily cooled, mainstream tokens have pulled back, and the market is pinning its hopes for the next rally on Arc Chain, which is set to launch on September 16. Arc Chain is developed by stablecoin issuer Circle and is an open blockchain network primarily targeting institutional-grade users. The market is divided on whether it will support crypto-native meme coin culture. Platforms such as OpenSea and FOMO have announced that they will support Arc Chain as soon as it goes live. In response to the FOMO launch teaser, Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire has already responded positively.
Circle stated the event will be held in New York, with topics covering institutional finance, global capital flows, 24/7 markets, and the Agent economy, as well as showcasing first-day products and applications. A developer pre-event session will be held from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM ET on September 16, followed by a main stage livestream from 2:00 PM to 3:45 PM, with representatives from BlackRock, DTCC, Aave, SBI Group, Morpho, Ripio, Extended, a16z, and Circle participating. Developers can already build on the Arc testnet.
Odaily News, Circle has published a statement on the cirBTC reserve mechanism, stating that each cirBTC is backed 1:1 by one native BTC and can be redeemed for native BTC at a 1:1 ratio. The corresponding BTC is held by Circle-affiliated entities and custodied by Circle National Trust, which is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The reserve assets are segregated from Circle's corporate assets and are used solely to protect the interests of cirBTC holders. cirBTC is currently live on Ethereum and will receive native support once the Arc mainnet launches, with future expansion to more blockchains. Circle also provides on-chain reserve verification through a public BTC reserve address and the Chainlink Proof of Reserve mechanism, allowing market participants to compare the scale of reserved BTC against the circulating supply of cirBTC across all supported chains.
OpenSea will add support on the Arc mainnet launch day (September 16).
