⭕ Circle's @arc mainnet is launching on September 16, and edgeX @edgeX_exchange is a Day 1 partner. On the first day, they’ll roll out the first 24/7 FX (foreign exchange) perpetual contract on Arc, starting with USD/JPY. They’re also planning to launch 150+ perpetual markets, covering U.S. stocks, commodities, and crypto, all with unified margin and settlement in native USDC. The Arc chain is purpose-built for stablecoin-based finance, with gas fees paid directly in USDC and a built-in FX engine (StableFX) for sub-second deterministic settlement. But no matter how fast a chain is, without an order book and liquidity, it’s just spinning its wheels. That’s where edgeX comes in. According to official reports, their cumulative trading volume has already surpassed $900B. They’ve been running 24/7 perpetuals for U.S. stocks and commodities, and now they’re integrating FX perpetuals. This is a powerhouse collaboration . Circle Ventures has long been an investor in edgeX. The native USDC issuance on EDGE Chain and CCTP integration were joint efforts by the two. This isn’t some last-minute partnership. For those actively trading, the impact is immediate. For example, if the yen suddenly moves on a Saturday night, you won’t have to sit there staring at the screen, waiting for Monday’s market open. Mainnet goes live on September 16. Looking forward to the debut—keep an eye on the USD/JPY order book depth and funding rates on Day 1. Also, EDGE surged over 60% yesterday!
