ARC Blockchain Secures $222M to Revolutionize Stablecoin Payments by 2026
ARC blockchain has raised $222 million from major investors, including BlackRock and a16z crypto. The funding round values the project at $3 billion as it prepares for a mainnet beta launch in summer 2026. Designed for stablecoin-native transactions, the platform aims to streamline financial operations for enterprises and payment processors. The blockchain’s testnet has already processed over 244 million transactions. It uses Malachite consensus and Reth execution to achieve sub-second finality, ensuring rapid and reliable settlements.
ARC’s system supports 24/7 stablecoin payments with atomic routing, guaranteeing payment versus payment (PvP) security. By using USDC as the primary gas asset, the platform eliminates exposure to volatile fee tokens, offering predictable transaction costs. Built for large-scale financial coordination, ARC targets enterprise treasuries and payment providers. Its infrastructure removes the need to manage fluctuating cryptocurrency fees, simplifying operations for institutional users.
The $222 million funding round underscores strong institutional backing for ARC’s stablecoin-focused approach. With a mainnet beta planned for 2026, the platform aims to provide faster, more predictable financial transactions. Enterprises and payment processors will soon test its capabilities at scale.
