#ArcAdoptsUSDCGas

#CLARITYVoteFails50-49 CLARITY cloture failed 49-50. Needed 60. Not even close 📉 BTC briefly dipped below $75,000 on the news. Coinbase and Circle both fell. The market had been pricing in some probability of passage — now repricing that out 👀 The sticking points that killed it: Trump family crypto conflicts, stablecoin yields, state enforcement powers, consumer protections. Same four issues that have been circling for months. Nothing got resolved 🫠 But it's not dead yet. Republicans can move to reconsider, and some lawmakers floated a lame-duck revival. The question now is whether Congress restarts negotiations or the SEC and CFTC just start moving via administrative rulemaking instead 🤔 Administrative rulemaking without legislation = less crypto-friendly outcomes, more agency discretion, no congressional override. That's the scenario the industry was trying to avoid 🔥 49-50 on cloture — do you think a lame-duck revival is realistic, or is US crypto regulation heading into 2027 via agency rulemaking? 👇

USDC as gas is the design choice. Settlement demand is the test. Circle's Arc public mainnet gives the issuer a route deeper into financial infrastructure. My read: the stronger moat would come from recurring payment and institutional flows, not the gas mechanism itself. If those flows fail to materialize, the expansion may remain a launch narrative. #FOMCRateCallThisWeek #CLARITYVoteFails50-49 #AISafetyDebateEscalates

Circle's Arc mainnet has launched with USDC as native gas and more than 190 institutional and ecosystem builders#FOMCRateCallThisWeek #CLARITYVoteFails50-49 #AISafetyDebateEscalates

Most insane GitHub lore on @arc. Circle’s wallet-contract repo has a migration test where the dummy ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 assets are literally named getrich, ticker $$$. And the funny part is where it appears: a test upgrading an ECDSA wallet into a modular ERC-6900 smart account while proving the wallet keeps its ETH, tokens and NFTs, then still executes through ERC-4337. Probably just a dev easter egg. But getrich / $$$ being used inside a “keep your assets through the next generation of wallets” test is objectively elite lore 0x1fc29df411ec71a48a431ebbc9f585b98af910b3

JUST IN: Circle’s Arc mainnet launched with Chainlink infrastructure from day one Through Chainlink Scale, Arc is committing capital to give its ecosystem access to CCIP, Data Feeds, Data Streams and Proof of Reserve, targeting institutional-grade oracle infrastructure at lower costs.

so why is nobody bidding this lore coin on @arc Circle’s wallet-contract repo had a migration test where the test ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 assets are literally named getrich, ticker $$$. 0x1fc29df411ec71a48a431ebbc9f585b98af910b3

Ngl, feel zero FOMO to trade on Arc. Why would I? It's permissioned corpo chain for FX and payments. A SeRioUs chain. Sure, it could be a meme to trade memecoins on a SeRiOuS chain but unlike Robinhood, Arc team isn't really supporting crypto native culture. Opposite even, despite using USDC for years, retail degen who were active users of USDC and even survived the depeg got nothing out of their IPO. RH, even if corpo chain, still supports my bags for building on Ethereum, using $ETH and giving 10% to Arbitrum. Much better alignment. The only possible sexy narrative could be $ARC airdrop as they have 60% of tokens for the "ecosystem". Yet I guess these tokens will go as subsidies to different payment, fx, tokenization partners to build on Arc instead of us, degen traders. Kinda like Canto. Finally, feel like the same playbook of meme/stock gets boring when it moved to the 3rd circle from RH to Solana and now Arc. Unless something unexpected happens on Arc, I will look for something more fun elsewhere.
