BitGo Enables Stablecoin Settlement on Circle's Arc Network

BitGo activated full support for Arc, Circle's EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, immediately following the network's mainnet launch on September 16, 2026. The integration provides institutional clients with day-one access to wallet, deposit, and withdrawal capabilities for stablecoin settlement.

Arc is designed specifically for payment and settlement infrastructure, utilizing USDC as its native gas currency. The network targets predictable dollar-denominated transaction fees and sub-second deterministic finality. This structure addresses the growing institutional demand for reliable stablecoin rails.

Existing infrastructure supports immediate Arc access

Clients access Arc through BitGo's current wallet stack without separate onboarding. The platform includes Self-Custody MPC in hot and cold configurations, Custody MPC, and Go Account. USDC deposits and withdrawals are indexed for both native and token transfers. EURC support is also available within the same framework.

Treasury operations gain automated gas coverage

BitGo extends its treasury functionality to Arc, including auto-consolidation and bulk withdrawals. The Gas Tank service covers the gas costs generated during auto-consolidation. This removes the requirement for treasury teams to maintain a separate gas wallet for these processes.

Market context for stablecoin settlement

The launch coincides with broader institutional adoption of stablecoin settlement tools. Digital asset managers report increased activity in USDC-based settlement layers. BitGo positions Arc support as a core component of its institutional offering. The move reinforces the network's role in the stablecoin ecosystem.
