Circle mints the full 10 billion ARC token supply but does not commit to a public launch

Circle completed the genesis mint of 10 billion ARC tokens in the same week as the Arc mainnet launch. The company says the mint is not a commitment to a public ARC token launch. Circle recognizes ARC presale revenue in other revenue, which is part of why it raised its 2026 other revenue guidance.

  • Genesis mint of 10 billion ARC tokens, the full initial supply
  • Circle says the mint is not a commitment to publicly launch ARC
  • ARC presale revenue is recognized in other revenue and is included in 2026 guidance
  • Network fees remain payable in USDC
