Archipelago is built on Arc to create a truly connected world, where different functions can come together and exist within one ecosystem.
One place, multiple use cases, all connected.
Arc is built for stablecoin-native financial activity.
At the core of it is USDC.
Not just another token sitting on the chain.
USDC is designed to be part of the financial rails powering payments, transfers, and settlement across onchain activity.
And when you combine that with RWA?
RWA + stablecoin-native infrastructure = a much bigger onchain financial system.
Built on Arc.
Arc Mainnet is live.
Built for programmable money, global markets, and agentic economic activity, Arc brings stablecoin-native infrastructure to builders and institutions from day one.

RWA brings real-world assets onchain.
But users still need a way to move between assets, stablecoins, and the liquidity they need to interact with them.
That’s where Swap comes in.
On Archipelago, Swap is one of the four core components of the ecosystem.
RWA is moving from tokenized → usable. 🌎
$39.2B in RWA value is now onchain, with 90%+ collateral utilization highlighted in the latest SIX Network update.
But tokenization is only the beginning.
The real opportunity is connecting assets, liquidity, and users across the onchain economy.
That’s the vision behind Archipelago.
RWA Market Update - Late August to Early September
Major financial institutions worldwide are rolling out their own tokenized products at the same time across multiple countries, including South Korea, Japan, and India, while regulators in the US and Europe are still playing catch-up, and there's growing criticism around low real-world utilization, tied to the ongoing issue of assets tokenized for use as #collateral.
In summary, late August through early September saw on-chain RWA value hit a monthly high, and assets purpose-built for collateral have proven they can be genuinely utilized at 90%+.
What's next to watch is how far this RWA use case can extend to other asset types.

USDC can be a key piece of the RWA puzzle.
Think of an RWA token as the asset you want to own.
USDC is the money you use to buy it.
With stablecoin-native infrastructure like Arc, payments and settlement can happen in USDC without relying on a volatile gas token.
Less friction.
More predictable costs.
A smoother way to move real-world value onchain.
RWA + stablecoins + better rails.
That’s where things start getting interesting.
