KuCoin Goes Live on Arc at Mainnet Launch, Broadening Access to Onchain Finance
KuCoin becomes a launch partner as Arc opens with USDC transfers, sub-second settlement and support from more than 20 fiat stablecoins.
- On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, Circle launched the Arc mainnet, a USDC-powered Layer 1 blockchain that CEO Jeremy Allaire described as an "economic operating system" for payments and financial markets.
- Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire designed the network to remove friction for institutions by denominating transaction fees in USDC rather than requiring users to hold volatile native network assets.
- Arc supports more than 20 fiat stablecoins and native tokenized funds like BlackRock's BUIDL, with 11 institutional founding validators including Mastercard, Visa, and Standard Chartered at launch.
- Global exchanges including KuCoin provide live access points, enabling eligible users to move USDC directly between the platform and Arc from day one.
- Circle plans to explore a transition from the current Proof-of-Authority model to Proof of Stake in 2027, potentially expanding the utility of the 10 billion ARC tokens minted this week.
