The Arc Ecosystem is Taking Shape

With today’s public testnet launch, we’re proud to share that leading companies across major sectors of the global financial system and onchain economy are already engaging in the early Arc ecosystem.

Collectively, these organizations manage hundreds of trillions in assets, facilitate vast global payment flows, and power billions of transactions every day.

Spanning the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, the geographic diversity of testnet participants highlights a defining strength of Arc: it’s purpose-built to connect every local market to the global economy. As the Economic OS for the internet, Arc presents the opportunity for every type of company to build on enterprise-grade network infrastructure — advancing a shared vision that a more open, inclusive, and efficient global economic system can be built natively on the internet.

Stablecoins and asset issuers:

Arc is designed as a foundation for issuers of fiat stablecoins, along with tokenized equities, credit, money market funds, and more. Central to this is Arc’s roadmap for stablecoins as tokens for gas payments, as well as native infrastructure that will be deployed on Arc for core stablecoin swaps and FX liquidity.

Currency issuers from key geographies — Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the Philippines — who are joining for Arc Testnet include:

AUDF issued by Forte Securities
BRLA issued by Avenia
JPYC issued by JPYC Inc.
KRW1 issued by BDACS
MXNB issued by Juno (a Bitso company)
PHPC issued by CoinsPH
QCAD issued by Stablecorp

In addition to these global currency issuers, Circle is engaging with a wide range of stablecoin issuers and stakeholders — including issuers of dollar-, euro-, and other fiat-backed stablecoins — to bring their assets to Arc. Stay tuned for more details on upcoming Arc platform enhancements designed for stablecoin-based gas fees, FX, and cross-stablecoin liquidity and interoperability, which are key themes and focuses for the emerging internet financial system.
