The main purpose of this integration is to create better liquidity for foreign exchange swaps, trading for stablecoin, and to improve the on-chain finance.
Aerodrome stated in the post on X, “This deployment will unlock swaps and liquidity provision for select pairs. Once Aero is live, tokenholders will be able to direct rewards to LPs and earn exchange revenue on Arc. More to come soon. Stay tuned.”
Arc Aims to Boost Liquidity for On-chain Economies
Arc was rolled out by Circle in August 2025, and it is currently running on the public test network. The main network is expected to launch in 2026. It is mainly designed for stablecoin applications for large enterprises.
The major feature of Arc is that it is using USDC as the native stablecoin for paying transaction fees and finalizing transactions in less than a second. The blockchain network fee is around half a cent per week. The network will also provide privacy as an optional feature and develop foreign exchange capabilities through a tool known as Circle StableFX. This will open a door for programmable stablecoin to stablecoin swaps at any time. This is a payment method to ensure that both parties get paid at the same time.
Arc is working as a blockchain for liquidity around the various blockchain networks. It is connected with Circle Cross Chain Transfer Protocol and Gateway to work easily with other blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana.
AerodromeFi was the leading decentralized exchange on the Base blockchain. After some time, it was merged with another exchange called Velodrome to create the Aero liquidity hub under the company named Dromos Labs. AerodromeFi will help the blockchains to create concentrated liquidity by using a system of incentives inspired by vote escrow tokenomics.
The deployment of AerodromeFi on Arc is part of Arc’s plan to expand the Ethereum main network. The roadmap is suggesting the launch in the second quarter of 2026. The purpose of this integration is to connect liquidity across various blockchains while taking advantage of Arc’s capabilities for foreign exchange and payment use cases.
After the launch of the testnet, Arc has attracted more than 100 institutional participants, including BlackRock, Visa, Goldman Sachs, and Amazon Web Services.
Stablecoin Market Soars Around $320 Billion with Regulatory Clarity
Amid growing regulatory clarity and adoption by traditional financial institutions, the stablecoin has witnessed a boom in its popularity. As of now, the stablecoin market is currently holding up around $315 billion in total market capitalization, according to DeFiLIama. The reason behind it is the growing adoption of stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and others. The annual transaction volume of stablecoin has soared to around $35 trillion, according to the report. These numbers have already surpassed the combined transaction volume of traditional payment networks like Visa and Mastercard in the adjusted on-chain activity.
The major factor behind the growth in stablecoin is the approval of the GENIUS Act by U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law in 2025. This is the first federal law for the stablecoin market.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in the press release that “Stablecoins represent a revolution in digital finance. The dollar now has an internet-native payment rail that is fast, frictionless, and free of middlemen. This groundbreaking technology will buttress the dollar’s status as the global reserve currency, expand access to the dollar economy for billions across the globe, and lead to a surge in demand for US Treasuries, which back stablecoins.
