Stablecoin Issuer Circle Unveils Enterprise-Focused Layer-1 Blockchain Project! Details Here
Stablecoin issuer Circle has officially announced Arc, its next-generation blockchain project designed for enterprise-grade financial transactions.
Circle Unveils “Arc,” Its Enterprise-Focused Layer-1 Blockchain
Developed as an open-source Layer-1 network, Arc aims to offer high scalability and reliability for stablecoin payments, foreign exchange (FX) transactions, and capital markets applications.
Compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Arc will allow developers to easily integrate their existing Ethereum-based applications.
One of the network's most notable features is the use of USDC as the native gas token for transaction fees. This allows users and institutions to simplify their payment processes by paying fees directly with the stablecoin.
Circle plans to launch Arc's public testnet in the fall of this year. Following the testnet phase, the mainnet is expected to become a key infrastructure, particularly for global payment providers, banks, and large-scale financial institutions.
The project is expected to expand USDC's use in various financial areas, such as payments, trading, and asset transfers. Circle officials state that Arc will make stablecoin-based financial solutions more efficient in terms of both speed and cost.
In the long term, Circle aims to position Arc as an attractive ecosystem not only for enterprise use but also for developers and fintech startups. This move is strategically important as it strengthens the company's position in the global stablecoin market.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
