Circle Boosts 2026 Outlook With Arc
Circle has raised its 2026 guidance, with a significant part of the increase linked to the presale of tokens for its upcoming Arc blockchain. According to BloFin Research, around $180 million of the higher “other revenue” outlook is attributed to the Arc token presale rather than recurring network activity. Circle reported $701 million in Q2 revenue and reserve income, while adjusted EBITDA increased 8% year over year to $143 million. Arc’s public mainnet is scheduled to launch on September 16, with institutional participants including BlackRock and DTCC. The network is designed for stablecoin-based settlement, while USDC circulation remains sensitive to weaker crypto market activity. Track USDC rates and exchange crypto conveniently with xbit.money.
