edgeX Joins Arc as a Day 1 Partner: the First 24/7 FX Perpetuals on Arc Mainnet Markets have always followed money. And the money is moving onchain. We're launching new FX perpetuals when Arc mainnet goes live on September 16, 2026, alongside 150+ markets across stocks, commodities, and crypto, all margined and settled in native USDC. This launch builds on a long-standing partnership with Circle. Circle Ventures is an investor in edgeX, and our teams have been working together on native USDC issuance and CCTP integration for EDGE Chain. For us, Arc is the natural next step. edgeX's global, always-on markets, running on USDC's native settlement layer. Live on Day One: Starting with USD-JPY, 24/7 FX perpetuals, built on Arc's native FX engine. 150+ perpetual markets across US stocks, commodities, and crypto — all margined and settled in native USDC. What we’re exploring: More FX pairs, prioritized by liquidity and demand. FX spot markets, starting with USDC against non-USD stablecoins. Non-USD stablecoins as margin - hold, hedge, and trade without ever converting back to dollars. Why Arc? The world's largest markets still run on infrastructure from another century. FX alone trades $7.5 trillion a day, yet it closes on weekends, settles in two days, and lives behind banking hours. USDC has already proven the alternative: dollars that move at internet speed, around the clock, to anyone. Arc is purpose-built for that infrastructure challenge: A chain built as the 24/7 economic operating system for internet-native money, gas paid in USDC, institutional-grade settlement, and a native FX engine What's been missing is the market layer on top. edgeX is the answer. An orderbook exchange already trading stocks, commodities, and crypto 24/7, expand to FX, at scale. And meantime benefiting from Arc’s native rails for multi-currency FX markets, where margin, settlement, and fees all run on USDC. Every trade on edgeX deepens USDC's role as the settlement currency of the internet, and every new USDC holder can easily tap in edgeX as a trader.
