Circle2026-09-20 14:39:28Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire discusses Arc, quantum computing and the agentic economyCircle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in an interview with Time Magazine that the company’s newly launched blockchain, Arc, is designed as an operating system for the internet economy. He said the network is meant to support USDC stablecoin payments, connect more than 20 blockchains, and serve as infrastructure for financial services. In the same interview, Allaire also addressed the longer-term outlook for quantum computing and the rise of the agentic economy. He said agent-driven systems could reshape how humans interact with machines and how value is exchanged, while quantum computing may open new possibilities for next-generation cryptographic protocols and security infrastructure. Allaire added that stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure remain core building blocks for the future digital economy.320
Circle2026-09-15 06:48:56Circle-backed Arc set for Sept. 16 launch as Arc-based USDC trades at a sharp premiumCircle’s Arc blockchain is scheduled to go live on Sept. 16, and traders are already positioning ahead of the launch. The setup has drawn attention because the earlier debut of the Robinhood chain saw tokens such as CASHCAT post 1,000x and even 10,000x returns, creating expectations that Arc could produce a similar burst of speculative activity. That has pushed on-chain capital to look for early entry points before the network officially opens. A third-party venue is already offering swaps between USDC on Ethereum mainnet and USDC on Arc. Market data cited in the report shows Arc-based USDC trading at nearly double the value of Ethereum mainnet USDC. A leading platform involved in this market has matched 11,660 swaps with cumulative volume above $5 million, while charging a 3% service fee on these transactions. Several crypto-native platforms have also said they will support Arc as soon as it launches, including NFT marketplace OpenSea and meme coin platform fomo. Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire responded positively soon after fomo previewed its Arc support, a move the report described as a potential sign of support for the crypto-native community.820
Arc Chain2026-09-10 03:05:53Arc Chain set for Sept. 16 launch as Circle co-founder responds to fomo teaserOn-chain momentum sparked by the Robinhood chain has cooled this week, with major cryptocurrencies pulling back and traders shifting attention to Arc Chain, which is scheduled to go live on Sept. 16. Arc Chain is being developed by stablecoin issuer Circle and is described as an open blockchain network aimed primarily at institutional users. Ahead of the launch, debate has emerged over whether the network will embrace the native meme coin culture that often drives activity on crypto-first chains. Support from ecosystem platforms is already starting to form. OpenSea and fomo have both said they will support Arc Chain as soon as it launches. Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire has also responded positively to fomo’s launch teaser, adding to market attention around the upcoming network debut.790
Robinhood Cha2026-09-10 03:07:58Market Focus Shifts to Arc Chain After Robinhood-Driven Onchain Rally CoolsThe onchain rally led by Robinhood Chain has cooled since the start of this week, with major cryptocurrencies pulling back and traders turning their attention to Arc Chain, which is scheduled to go live on Sept. 16. Arc Chain is being developed by stablecoin issuer Circle and is positioned as an open blockchain network aimed primarily at institutional users. That positioning has fueled debate over whether the network will embrace crypto-native meme coin culture. Support from platforms has already started to emerge before launch. OpenSea and fomo have both said they will support Arc Chain as soon as it goes live. Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire has also responded positively to fomo’s launch preview, adding to market attention around the upcoming chain.970
fomo2026-08-30 07:22:48fomo Cofounder Says Trading Support Comes on Arc's First Day; Circle CEO Responds: 'Already FOMO?'Seyong, a co-founder of the fomo project, said in a post that the project will offer trading support on the first day that Arc's network goes live. The flash update, carried by Odaily under its 7x24 fast-news section, gives no breakdown of which trading pairs or services will be covered. It also does not state when Arc is expected to launch. Circle chief executive Jeremy Allaire responded to Seyong's post with a short rhetorical question: “Already FOMO?” The Odaily headline frames the exchange around a broader question: whether Arc could become the next meme chain. The original item was timestamped at 07:22 UTC on August 30, 2026. The delay between publication and detection was about 10 minutes. No further details about fomo's planned integration, Arc's technical architecture, or Circle's involvement were disclosed in the item. The report is brief by design and stops after relaying the co-founder's commitment and Allaire's reply, with no additional statements from either side.840
Circle2026-08-27 06:56:43Circle CEO says stablecoin FX engine StableFX is nearing launch on Arc mainnetCircle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire said on Aug. 27 that StableFX is set to go live on mainnet soon. The announcement was made in a post on X. Before this, StableFX had already been launched on the Arc public testnet. StableFX is described as an institutional-grade foreign exchange engine built for stablecoins. It covers local currency stablecoins tied to both major and emerging markets. According to the information shared, the system supports near-instant, 24/7 on-demand settlement. The product also uses a PvP, or payment-versus-payment, model. In practice, that means both sides settle at the same time or neither side settles, a structure aimed at reducing capital lock-up. Circle said the setup also allows access to multiple vetted counterparties through a single onboarding process. The update focuses on the upcoming mainnet rollout and follows the earlier testnet deployment on Arc.890
Circle2026-08-26 10:01:50Circle CEO says stablecoins are in their 2002 internet moment and could grow into a multi-trillion-dollar marketCircle co-founder, chairman and CEO Jeremy Allaire used a nearly 47-minute Q2 2026 earnings AMA on Aug. 19, 2026 to lay out how he sees the company, USDC, stablecoin adoption and the broader onchain economy evolving. Across 11 investor questions, Allaire said Circle’s execution has accelerated after its IPO, helped by long-standing cross-functional coordination, measured hiring and wider internal use of AI and agent infrastructure. He also pointed to cyber risk and global operating capacity as two areas where Circle still needs to keep building. On stablecoins, Allaire said real product-market fit is already visible in digital asset markets, digital dollar savings in emerging markets and cross-border settlement. He added that AI agent payments, merchant payments and deeper convergence between traditional finance and onchain finance are likely to become larger drivers over time. In his view, stablecoins can serve everything from sub-cent machine payments to working capital and collateral in capital markets. Allaire described today’s onchain finance stack as being roughly at the “internet in 2002” stage. He said the current onchain stablecoin market is only about $300 billion and argued that it could eventually expand into the trillions. Reserve income will remain a major engine for Circle, he said, but the company is also building transaction and infrastructure revenues through products including CPN and Arc. He called Arc an economic operating system, said its public mainnet is set for Sept. 16, and argued that it is designed to make blockchain infrastructure nearly invisible to end users. He also said USDC adoption can keep rising even if the CLARITY Act does not pass in September.520
