Circle announced the public mainnet launch of Arc, a new layer-1 blockchain designed for payments, trading, and agentic economic activity, despite its stock falling over 6%. The Arc testnet processed more than 700 million transactions in under a year and the launch involves major partners like BlackRock, Mastercard, and Visa.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You should spot new product openings on Circle's Arc blockchain for payments and trading. BlackRock, Mastercard, and Visa are backing this, which means your fintech or payments startup now has a fresh platform to integrate or compete with.
