Circle launches the Arc chain: It has a deep institutional background, but it was taken over by Meme on the first day.
On September 16, Circle officially launched the Arc blockchain. With its deep institutional pedigree, this new chain has few rivals among the emerging blockchains. Its star-studded list of founding verifiers includes BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC and ICE. Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, defines Arc as a universal economic operating system designed to serve payments, tokenized financial markets, and AI proxy commerce.
The network uses $USDC as a Gas fee and is specifically designed to meet the second-level settlement needs of institutional users. However, in just a few hours after the main network was launched, retail traders showed completely different intentions.
Launchpad dominates the first day of trading
According to online data on Dune,@arc recorded US$410.8 million in total decentralized exchange (DEX) transaction volume and 7.76 million transactions on its first main-network day. Among them, Meme coin Launchpad drove approximately 82% of activity and generated US$336.26 million in transaction volume.
@Arguspad led the way with a huge advantage, handling US$202.35 million in transaction volume alone. Closely followed by Minara.fun, with a turnover of $36.41 million; Tollyabs, with $19.65 million. According to BeInCrypto, the event involved a total of 19 Launchpads, but after the top five platforms, transaction volume shrank sharply.
代币发行数量同样引人注目。在第一天,交易者在Arc上铸造了97,025个新代币。其中,@Arguspad负责了83,751个,占该链当天创建的所有代币的86%以上。这一单日代币启动数量甚至超过了pump.fun有史以来记录的任何24小时数据。
截至报告时,@Arguspad市值和24小时交易量排名前五的代币如下:
- ARGUS:市值1750万美元 / 交易量363万美元
- UpSideDownCat (USDC):市值200万美元 / 交易量179万美元
- The Duke of Arc (DUKE):市值143万美元 / 交易量109万美元
- PI:市值57万美元 / 交易量52.1万美元
- FatCatBatRatWifHat (USDC):市值33.2万美元 / 交易量40.6万美元
似曾相识的模式
这种动态并非没有先例。Robinhood Chain于2026年7月推出,当时也主打类似代币化股票的机构概念,随后在早期几周看到了零售投机的占据主导地位,直到真实世界资产的价值开始真正积累。
如果剔除Launchpad活动,Arc首日的剩余交易量——与USDC结算、代币化抵押品和机构支付通道相关——约为7460万美元。这正是Circle构建这条链的基础预期。投机性成交量是否会像最终在Robinhood Chain上发生的那样让位于机构采用,仍是Arc进入主网生活最初几周的核心问题。
