Circle's Arc blockchain has secured major financial institutions including BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard, and others as founding validators ahead of its public launch on September 16, aiming to create blockchain infrastructure integrated with existing financial market standards. Key integrations by BlackRock and DTCC plan to facilitate tokenized funds and securities settlement on the Arc network, signalling significant institutional adoption beyond typical crypto blockchain use cases.
