Arc
Circle unveiled a 2026 roadmap to build an "Internet Finance Platform" anchored by Arc and stablecoins, using a three-pillar framework that unifies blockchain infrastructure, digital assets, and payment applications. The effort aims to connect on‑chain liquidity with compliant payment rails for developers, banks and merchants.
Dromos Labs launched Aero, a central liquidity hub, and rolled out an upgrade suite for Aerodrome to extend beyond Base to Ethereum and Circle’s Arc, promising deeper cross-EVM liquidity and improved routing for traders.
Circle has revealed plans to introduce a native token for its Arc stablecoin network, announced alongside its Q3 earnings which showed a year-over-year rise in net income.
Bitcoin and Ether prices declined as the Federal Reserve's October 2025 meeting kicked off. Key crypto industry updates included BlackRock-linked Securitize going public and Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire launching a new blockchain project called Arc. Michael Saylor also shared his views on the growing trend of crypto treasury investments.
