Arc's launch is in the final countdown, with on-chain USDC premiums nearing double, and third-party platforms having matched over 10,000 transactions.

BlockBeats news, September 15 — Circle's public blockchain Arc is set to officially launch on September 16. Since the previous launch of Robinhood Chain, tokens represented by CASHCAT achieved thousand-fold and ten-thousand-fold returns. The market expects similar price action to occur on the Arc chain. As a result, on-chain funds are actively seeking opportunities to position early and front-run.

Third-party platforms offering Ethereum mainnet USDC swaps for Arc chain USDC have already appeared on the market. Relevant data shows that Arc chain USDC currently carries nearly a 100% premium over Ethereum mainnet USDC. A leading platform has already matched 11,660 swaps, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $5 million, while the platform charges a 3% service fee on these transactions.

BlockBeats previously reported that multiple crypto-native platforms have announced they will support the Arc chain at the earliest opportunity, including NFT trading platform Opensea and meme coin platform fomo. In response to fomo's launch announcement, Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire also responded positively at the earliest opportunity, which can be seen as a potential signal of support for the crypto-native community. As for whether Arc can successfully carry forward the on-chain hype after launch, it still needs to be verified by the market at that time.
