Illustrating Arc's 104 Web3 Business Partners: Circle Builds a “New Clearing Network” for the Stablecoin Era
Comparing news, the Web3 asset data platform RootData has sorted out Arc's 104 partners, covering the six core sectors of asset issuance, infrastructure, developer tools, trading, financial services, and payments. Compared to most public chains that first develop a developer ecosystem and then look for commercialization scenarios, Arc's path is clearly more biased towards actual financial circulation networks.
At the asset issuance layer, stablecoin issuers such as AllUnity, BDACS, Bitso/Juno, and Stablecorp, and tokenized asset players such as Centrifuge, Securitize, and WisdomTree entered the market, indicating that Arc prioritized solving the “on-chain asset supply” problem and bringing dollars, bonds, and securities to the chain.
At the infrastructure layer, partners such as Blockdaemon, Chainalysis, Elliptic, QuickNode, and DRPC undertake node services, compliance analysis, and on-chain data support. This means Arc is preparing for institutional funding rather than the typical Crypto chain's “grow first, then comply”.
At the developer tool layer, Axelar, Wormhole, Chainlink, MetaMask, Fireblocks, Privy, Alchemy, LayerZero, TRM Labs, etc. are concentrated, essentially reducing institutional and developer migration costs and putting capital, wallets, cross-chain, and compliance tools directly in place.
At the transaction level, institutions such as Coinbase, Bybit, Kraken, Robinhood, Galaxy Digital, and B2C2 are responsible for secondary market liquidity and price discovery. The payment layer is accessed on a large scale by Visa, Mastercard, PhotonPay, Nuvei, EBANX, and Ramp.
In the financial services layer, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, State Street, Aave, Maple Finance, Morpho, BitGo, etc. appeared simultaneously, which means Arc has begun to open up traditional banking, on-chain lending, and escrow systems.
On the face of it, Arc is a new public chain, but judging from the ecological structure, it will act as the new financial layer in the Circle stablecoin era, directly emphasizing USDC gas fees, sub-second final settlement, compliance privacy, and native CCTP integration. The goal is to directly cut into the real money flow and try to become SWIFT+ Stripe+ DTCC. Related Collection [Arc Web3 Partner Network Collection (Continuously Updated)]
