Circle Targets Recurring Institutional Revenue as Arc Mainnet Prepares Launch
Circle is building the Arc network into infrastructure for financial institutions, payments firms, and capital-markets participants, with a key focus on recurring activity after launch. Arc is set to go live with 100+ private mainnet partners and validators, supported by a $242 million token presale and higher other-revenue guidance of $310–$330 million. Integration talks include firms such as BlackRock, BNY, DTCC and Standard Chartered, while spending rises as execution risk remains.
