Circle and decentralized perpetual contract trading platform edgeX jointly announced that on September 16, coinciding with the launch of the Arc mainnet, edgeX will serve as Arc’s flagship perpetual product, offering 24/7 forex trading on the mainnet’s first day. The two parties will collaborate to advance Arc’s on-chain foreign exchange and global asset trading markets. On the mainnet launch day, edgeX will debut a 24/7 tradable USD/JPY perpetual contract, alongside over 150 perpetual contract markets covering U.S. stocks, commodities, and crypto assets. All markets use Arc’s native USDC as margin and settlement asset. Arc is Circle’s Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin finance, featuring a built-in FX engine (StableFX), institutional-grade RFQ (Request for Quote) system, and 24/7 on-chain PvP (peer-to-peer) settlement, with USDC as its native gas token. Backed by Circle Ventures, edgeX will be the exclusive launch partner for Arc’s FX perpetual market. A globally leading centralized perpetual contract exchange, edgeX has recorded over $900 billion in trading volume since its launch, enabling users to trade perpetual contracts for U.S. stocks, commodities, forex, and crypto assets around the clock. Prior to this, Circle and edgeX teams had collaborated on EDGE Chain’s native USDC issuance and CCTP integration. This partnership will combine Circle’s expertise in stablecoin financial infrastructure with edgeX’s on-chain trading experience to expand 24/7 global asset trading use cases. Looking ahead, the two sides plan to gradually add more major forex pairs based on market demand and liquidity, and explore non-U.S. dollar stablecoin margin and on-chain FX spot markets.
