Circle and L1 solution Arc: why did the USDC issuer enter the blockchain race? - INCRYPTED
On August 12, 2025, the USDC issuer Circle introduced its own L1 blockchain, Arc. The project is designed to service financial operations with stablecoins, tokenized assets, and cryptocurrencies in the institutional sector.
Arc is designed as an open ecosystem compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It is integrated with Circle services and can interact with other networks.
The project’s developers believe that their “baby” will solve the problem of unstable fees, the lack of predictability in calculations, and avoid liquidity fragmentation.
The Incrypted editorial team figured out why the company decided to create its own network and how the industry faced the corporate “blockchain race.”
