Circle Arc Ecosystem Fund officially launched to support on-chain financial applications and intelligent agent economy

2025-12-18 03:24:12

【Blockchain Rhythm】Circle announces a new move—launching the Arc Developer Fund. This time, Circle Ventures allocates dedicated funds and partners with an investor network to support early-stage real-world financial application and service development teams on the internet economy operating system Arc.

The core logic of this fund is actually acceleration. By supporting projects that truly understand Arc’s unique design, Circle aims to drive a wave of innovation within the DeFi ecosystem. Specifically, they are looking for several directions:

First, on-chain markets. Applications with low-latency architecture have natural advantages, with significant room for improvement in trading experience and efficiency.

Second, real-world assets and private credit. The design based on private, composable infrastructure makes the integration of traditional finance and on-chain finance more feasible.

Third, on-chain foreign exchange. The combination of Circle StableFX and Circle Payments Network can create more liquid cross-border financial solutions.

Fourth, agent-based commerce. The demand for autonomous systems and machine economies is rising, making this a blue ocean for applications.

Fifth, energy and computing protocols. The predictability brought by deterministic settlement mechanisms is crucial for this type of infrastructure.

Overall, Arc is trying to build an infrastructure layer for future finance. This fund is adding chips in this direction.

Here come the fundraisers again, this time is Circle's trick? Truly impressive Another bunch of projects are about to appear on Arc, let's see who can survive the next funding round DeFi still needs innovation? I just want to know if there can be fewer vulnerabilities and more reliability Private credit is indeed interesting, but it depends on whether the team can pull it off Both low latency and composability, sounds impressive, but in the end, it's still worthless The on-chain real asset thing has been hyped for so many years, when will we see some real cash Investing in networks sounds good, but I'm worried it's just insiders banding together again On-chain foreign exchange? Isn't this just trying to do what USDC does? Money makes the king, Circle's moves are really ruthless Let's wait and see if any reliable projects come on board, most likely just the majority will be riding along

Circle is also pouring money into funds, basically aiming to build up the Arc ecosystem. --- Low-latency architecture sounds good, but how many projects can actually run on it? --- On the topic of on-chain real-world assets, it feels like we've been talking about it for years without seeing a killer app. --- Private credit + on-chain? Isn't this a bit too complex? Who will bear the risks? --- Another ecosystem fund, and it all depends on who can capture Circle's aesthetic. --- The foreign exchange track indeed has imagination, but the competition among stablecoins is already intense. --- Having a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean good projects will emerge; the key is whether the team truly understands Arc's design philosophy. --- It seems like Circle is paving the way for the USDC ecosystem with a smart strategy.

It's Circle again pouring money into building the ecosystem. Let's see if they can really incubate something this time.

Raising funds again. What new tricks can Arc come up with this time? The real-world assets sector definitely has potential, but... implementation is the key.

Here comes the same old trick of cutting leeks again, do you really think everyone hasn't seen through it? --- Regarding real-world assets, they talk a big game but how many have actually been implemented? --- Is low latency all that matters? The tech stack is probably the real core. --- What does regulation say about private lending? Let's wait and see. --- It's always the same kind of fund promotion; in the end, only a few projects manage to get funding. --- On-chain foreign exchange indeed has imagination, but can Arc really handle this traffic? --- Last year, DeFi innovation was also hyped up like this, but what was the result?
