《a16z: Why Did We Invest in ARC?》 (Authors @alive_eth, @nlevine19 | Translated by 吴说区块链) Stablecoin annual transaction volume has reached $9 trillion, with the supply of USD stablecoins exceeding $270 billion. Among them, Circle's USDC accounts for approximately $79 billion, circulating across more than 30 chains. The article argues that existing blockchain infrastructure struggles to fully meet the needs of large financial institutions. Circle's newly launched Arc network, which is EVM-compatible, offers sub-second settlement, configurable privacy, institutional-grade validator nodes, and CCTP cross-chain support, aiming to become the foundational network for stablecoins and institutional finance. The article states that Arc already has over 200 partners involved in its design, including Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, and others. The authors disclosed an investment of $75 million in ARC tokens. The above reflects the authors' views and does not constitute investment advice.
