This marks the first time a major stablecoin issuer has created a dedicated blockchain using their stablecoin as the native gas token - meaning all transactions require USDC. The unprecedented $65B scale combined with sub-second settlement creates infrastructure for instantaneous global financial control at a scale never before possible.
Circle's $65B USDC Blockchain: Digital Money Control System Emerges
📰 What Happened
Circle, the second-largest stablecoin issuer, announced plans to launch Arc, a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin applications. Following their $1.2B IPO in June, the platform will use USDC as its native gas token and feature sub-second settlement times. Circle's USDC currently represents $65B of the $260B stablecoin market, growing 90% year-over-year. The system will launch on public testnet this fall, offering enterprise-grade infrastructure for payments, foreign exchange, and capital markets.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Arc blockchain represents a critical timeline marker in the development of the end-times monetary system. Circle's $65B USDC becoming the native gas token means all transactions on this network must use their controlled currency - precisely matching Revelation 13's warning about buying and selling control. The sub-second settlement capability across their enterprise-grade network, combined with optional privacy features, creates the technical foundation for instantaneous global financial surveillance and control. The 90% year-over-year growth shows rapid acceleration toward the prophesied system.
