According to @alice_und_bob, USDC is a validated product that could move from a private ledger to a public ledger, enabling greater fee capture, stacked products, and higher revenue, which may alter stablecoin market dynamics; source: @alice_und_bob on X (Aug 12, 2025). However, Circle states USDC already operates natively on multiple public blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana, indicating any change would likely concern issuance or settlement rails rather than token availability; source: Circle USDC multichain documentation. For trading, monitor USDC circulating supply and mint/redeem flows, plus stablecoin market share and transfer volumes, to gauge liquidity impacts on BTC and ETH order books; sources: Circle Transparency Reports and DeFiLlama Stablecoins Dashboard.

According to @alice_und_bob, USDC already operates on a private ledger behind corporate servers, and ARC would create a public ledger for a private product that serves as a corporate headquarters to connect to other chains, source: @alice_und_bob on X (Aug 12, 2025). For trading context, this characterization frames ARC as infrastructure for USDC interoperability rather than a new monetary asset; treat any market impact as contingent on verifiable technical releases and official announcements, source: @alice_und_bob on X (Aug 12, 2025). USDC issuance and redemption are centrally controlled while circulating on multiple public chains, so reassess liquidity routing, transfer rails, and fees only after official integration details are published, source: Circle USDC documentation (multichain support and centralized issuance).
