Circle is collaborating with Fireblocks to boost stablecoin adoption among financial institutions using ARC for interoperability. Institutions are joining Circle’s Alliance Program to collaborate on building with USDC, focusing on enabling an on-chain economy through networks like ARC.
The testing phase allows major financial and tech entities to evaluate Arc’s capabilities before potential full deployment. Circle has positioned the blockchain as a solution for enterprises seeking stablecoin-native infrastructure with institutional-grade features.
