Circle Internet Group raised $222 million from investors including BlackRock and a16z for its new institutional blockchain, Arc, valued at $3 billion. Arc is designed for institutional finance, using USDC as its native gas token with fast transaction finality and EVM compatibility. Circle also reported Q1 2026 revenue up 20% to $694 million, driven by USDC growth, though net income fell 15% due to higher operating expenses. The Arc presale marks Circle as the first public company to conduct a token presale, aiming to strengthen its position amid advancing stablecoin regulations and potential competition from banks and fintechs.
