Arc mainnet launches: USDC hits $372M and 176,000 active addresses in two hours

AI Market Summary

Arc's mainnet launch shows rapid USDC adoption, reaching ~372M USDC and ~176k active addresses within two hours. The early bridging premium (80%–100%) suggests acute demand for onchain liquidity and speculative activity (meme trading) around the new venue. Near term, this can tighten cross-chain USDC availability and concentrate liquidity on Arc, influencing stablecoin flows and risk appetite across adjacent ecosystems.
