BlockBeats News, on February 26, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire responded during the Circle Q4 2025 earnings call regarding “the progress of the Arc token and when the Arc token will be launched,” stating, "We are still exploring the Arc token. I believe this is a very valuable exploration. We are gaining a deeper understanding of how tokens play a key role in the Arc network in terms of stakeholder incentives, governance, security, and utility. Therefore, this exploration is ongoing.
Currently, we have not communicated any specific timeline because we are still in the exploration phase. However, as I mentioned, we have made significant progress on the Arc project and are steadily moving toward the launch of the Arc mainnet, which is expected in 2026.
We anticipate seeing some excellent companies involved in operating the Arc infrastructure, deploying applications on it, and providing infrastructure support for asset issuers and AI agents, covering a wide range of use cases. Once more information is available, we will disclose it to the public."
