Circle's public chain Arc has completed a 222 million USD token financing round, with participation from BlackRock, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, and others.

Odaily reported that Circle has released its latest white paper, "ARC: The Native Asset of the Economic OS", officially introducing a public Layer1 blockchain named "Arc". Positioned as an internet "Economic Operating System (Economic OS)", it aims to unify stablecoins, tokenized assets, and foundational infrastructure for global on-chain markets. Arc will provide deterministic settlement, stablecoin-denominated Gas fees, configurable privacy, and institution-grade validator mechanisms. It forms a complete technology stack through USDC cross-chain operations, payment networks, and developer tools. Official sources revealed that since its testnet launch in October 2025, Arc has processed over 244 million transactions, with the mainnet scheduled for release in summer 2026. The white paper highlights the introduction of the native token ARC, which is defined as the network's "coordination asset". It serves functions such as staking, governance, fee distribution, and ecosystem incentives. ARC will contribute to network security through a staking mechanism and drives the long-term supply and demand model via a fee conversion and burning mechanism. In terms of economic design, ARC has an initial total supply of 10 billion tokens, employs a model with a starting inflation rate of 2%–3% that gradually decreases, and plans to achieve a long-term deflationary balance where "fee burning offsets issuance". All on-chain fees will be uniformly converted to ARC, distributed among validators and stakers, and partially burned. On the governance front, ARC holders will participate in voting on key economic parameters such as fees, inflation, and burning mechanisms. Circle will retain dominant rights over protocol development and compliance enforcement during early phases, gradually transitioning to decentralized governance in later stages. Circle emphasized that Arc's core objective is to establish a "programmable global economic layer", enabling stablecoins, financial protocols, and on-chain applications to operate collaboratively within the same settlement environment, with ARC serving as the system's coordination and incentive core.

May 11, 2026, the AI Computation Ecosystem Token $OG, jointly issued by Ju.com and Nivex, will officially launch and open trading at 15:18 (UTC+8) on May 12. The official announcement also stated that, starting immediately, all OG Agent global ecosystem operations will fully enter the “token-driven” era. Key Points: Settlement Sovereignty: All smart contract interactions, computational unit deployments, and regional business settlements have now fully switched to using $OG as the core settlement token. Value Fuel: $OG is officially anchored to AI model calls, cross-chain arbitrage settlements, and ecosystem incentive programs, establishing its status as the “value fuel” within the computation system. Rights Upgrade: $OG holders serve as the sole certificate to claim future AI computation arbitrage dividend pools and protocol revenue, while enjoying higher computational weight. The official circulation of $OG marks the completion of the full closed-loop from technical architecture to value distribution within OG Agent, heralding the start of distribution justice in the era of intelligent computation.
