đš Arc just posted a monster Day 1 â but the real story is where the volume came from.
Circleâs new Arc mainnet processed about $410.8M in DEX volume and 7.76M transactions on its first public day. That is a huge launch for a network positioned around stablecoins, payments, RWAs, and institutional finance.
But hereâs the twist:
Roughly 82% of Day 1 trading volume came from memecoin launchpads, with Arguspad alone generating about $202M.
So Arc launched with names like BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC, Aave, and Robinhood around the ecosystemâŠ
âŠbut retail speculation dominated the opening session.
That doesnât necessarily weaken the thesis.
It proves one thing immediately:
Liquidity showed up.
Now the real test is whether Arc can convert that speculative activity into durable USDC payments, DeFi credit, RWAs, and institutional settlement volume.
Day 1: memes.
Long game: financial infrastructure. đ
