Arc 🤝 @wirexapp
Wirex BaaS is expanding to Arc, bringing stablecoin banking and payment infrastructure natively onchain.
Wirex One is also expected to launch on Wirex’s infrastructure on Arc.
This brings:
→ USDC and EURC card settlement on Arc
→ Wirex BaaS infrastructure backed by principal memberships with leading card networks
→ Recurring payments activity moving onto Arc
→ A stablecoin neobank experience built on Arc-native infrastructure
Arc is built for real payments volume, not just idle liquidity.
More to come.
Crosschain swaps are now available in Swap Kit.
@TxnSheng covers how developers can swap tokens across blockchains in one method call, using the same type-safe interface for same-chain and crosschain flows.
Instead of stitching together separate swap, routing, and crosschain transfer logic, builders can use one swap method to define:
→ Source chain
→ Token in / token out
→ Amount
→ Destination chain
→ Recipient wallet
Today, Grupo BIND, one of the largest financial infrastructure and banking platforms in Argentina, announced a collaboration with Circle to bring USDC access to institutions in Argentina. A major step for USDC/ARS liquidity.

Circle’s Developer Grant program backs founders using USDC, Arc, and the Circle Developer Platform to solve real-world financial access problems.
In the first 2026 cohort, 8 teams building on Arc are focused on challenges across Africa and the Global South, including payments, FX, remittances, merchant checkout, and stablecoin-native banking.
Here’s who they are and what they’re building.
@BlockradarHQ is the infrastructure layer many of these quietly depend on.
One API that can handle wallets, AML screening, gasless transactions, and multichain liquidity so teams don't have to rebuild those components themselves.
@kolan_xyz gives non-US individuals a real USD account backed by USDC.
Freelancers and remote workers in 50+ countries across the Global South can receive, hold, and spend dollars.
@myazahq is collapsing Africa's fragmented payment rails into one layer.
Send money quickly across 21 African currencies, pay bills, hold a virtual USD card, and access business payouts.
@ArrelTechnology built a plug-and-play USDC checkout for African merchants.
Accept any CCTP-supported stablecoin via a payment link, auto-sweep to your treasury, and offramp to local currency.
@payritHQ lets African users send and receive in their local currency while USDC handles settlement behind the scenes.
No FX spread, no T+3 delays, just near-instant cross-border payments that work the way people expect them to.
@ViFi_Labs is building the onchain FX exchange that emerging markets have been missing: a DEX designed specifically for stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps in NGN, BRL, and COP with near-zero slippage.
@usesfxmoneyapp started with one corridor: African students in Turkey sending money home.
It's now a full USDC neobank with dollar accounts, free international transfers, and a card product, built for the African diaspora.
@flezpay tackles an important issue for the Global South. In volatile currency markets, static price tags go stale overnight.
The team developed AI-powered QR codes that update prices in real time, with USDC and fiat accepted at the same counter.
The full story of what these teams are building and what it tells us about where stablecoin adoption is actually happening is on the Arc blog: https://t.co/r0CON5jnuT

Most capital market settlement still takes days.
This ties up working capital while adding operational risk.
Arc is designed to support real-time settlement for tokenized securities, prediction markets, collateral management systems, and more with atomic DvP and deterministic finality.

Circle has received final OCC approval to establish First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A., a national trust bank operating as Circle National Trust.
A major U.S. regulatory milestone that strengthens USDC infrastructure through federally regulated custody, with reserve management planned as a future capability.
“Federal oversight of our trust bank sets a new standard for transparency, governance, and scale for Circle’s infrastructure and unlocks a new phase of adoption, where leading financial institutions can build on public blockchains with clarity and confidence.” - @jerallaire

Hurry up and wait. A financial system tale as old as time.
On Arc, payments, FX, and treasury workflows are built to move in real time.
Move fast. Move agentically. Move forward.
Native USDC, EURC, and CCTP are now live on Cronos, powering @CronosApp and the wider ecosystem.
Developers, PSPs, and DeFi teams on Cronos can now access the world’s largest regulated dollar and euro stablecoins for a range of use cases:
→ DeFi activity: Use USDC and EURC for lending, trading, and settlement
→ Crosschain money movement: Move USDC seamlessly across chains with CCTP for robust liquidity access
→ Payments and treasury: Manage payouts, settlement, and treasury operations
→ AI-powered workflows: Support agentic payments and emerging agent-to-agent applications with programmable stablecoins
Day 1 apps: @cryptocom, @lifiprotocol, @RelayProtocol, @VVS_finance, @wolfswapdotapp
With this integration, USDC and EURC are supported natively on 35 and 7 blockchains, respectively. CCTP is now available on 25 blockchains and enables smooth USDC crosschain transfers without third-party bridges.

We built an open-source DeFi lend / borrow sample app on Arc Testnet.
It gives developers a simple starting point for experimenting with cirBTC collateral and USDC borrowing.
The sample includes:
→ Deposit cirBTC as collateral
→ Borrow USDC against it
→ Review a basic DeFi smart contract
→ Explore a Next.js frontend
→ Extend the flow for credit, treasury, or collateralized finance use cases
Explore the repo and show us what you’re building: https://t.co/Pgw21GD2Se
