Circle expands Arc ecosystem with onchain FX engine and multi-currency stablecoin partner program

Circle is expanding its Arc Layer 1 blockchain ecosystem by introducing two major features aimed at modernizing foreign exchange: StableFX, a real-time onchain FX engine, and the Circle Partner Stablecoins program for multi-currency stablecoin interoperability. StableFX allows approved institutions to access and settle select stablecoin currency pairs 24/7 with atomic settlement, reduced counterparty risk, and competitive pricing, moving away from the traditional T+1 settlement cycles. The system is currently live on Arc's testnet, preceding the mainnet launch next year. Furthermore, the Circle Partner Stablecoins program supports select non-USD-pegged stablecoins deploying on Arc, such as BRLA and KRW1, integrating them into the Circle Payments Network (CPN) and StableFX to enhance liquidity and regional currency use cases on the Arc infrastructure.
