Arc + Fireblocks: Instant Scale
Circle’s upcoming blockchain, Arc, will integrate directly with Fireblocks, the digital asset custody platform used by more than 2,400 financial institutions.
That means when Arc launches later this year, banks and funds will have immediate access.
Critics note that Solana had to wait over a year before Fireblocks added support — but Circle is fast-tracking Arc into institutional adoption.
Riding the Stablecoin Wave
Circle is capitalizing on strong momentum:
- A $1.05B IPO in June.
- Q2 revenue of $658M, up 53% year-over-year.
- USDC circulation up 90%, surpassing $65B in August.
With stablecoins reaching a market cap of $277B, Circle’s USDC holds about a quarter of the fiat-backed share, while Tether dominates at 60%, reporting $4.9B profit in Q2.
The Big Picture
Arc isn’t just another blockchain — it’s a purpose-built platform for stablecoin finance, launched in a year where Wall Street is piling into tokenization projects.
With Fireblocks onboard from the start, Circle is positioning Arc as the go-to chain for institutions.
