Uniswap v4 hooks give builders more control over how pools work on @arc , and @haydenzadams and @benhmorris talked through what that means for new launches and ethereum:0x72dfb2e44f59c5ad2bafe84314e5b99a7cd5075e liquidity.
cirBTC is Circle’s 1:1 BTC token with onchain reserves. Pairing it with USDC gas and fast finality makes it easier to manage positions without fee volatility or slow settlement getting in the way.
Hooks let you attach custom logic so every asset doesn’t have to share the same fee or incentive setup. That becomes useful when you’re launching something new or trying to deepen markets around wrapped BTC.
Arc already has v4 pools running, including cirBTC pairs. The conversation focused on what developers can actually do once more assets land on a chain built for stablecoin flows and institutional settlement.
If you’re building on Arc, which hook setups are you testing first for new tokens or BTC pairs?
Uniswap v4 gives builders more ways to design markets on Arc.
@haydenzadams and Ben Morris discuss customizable liquidity pools, new asset launches, and building access to liquidity for cirBTC.
A conversation on how more assets coming onchain changes what developers can build with them.

New Arc Blueprint.
Onchain markets compete on execution quality.
Arc gives DEX, AMM, orderbook, and perpetual trading teams a stablecoin-native foundation for:
→ Sub-second finality
→ USDC-denominated gas
→ Composable liquidity
→ Live market infrastructure
Trading infrastructure for markets that need execution and settlement to move together.

Trust in this industry is earned through regulation, transparency, and delivery.
Today, in recognition of all three, Binance commits $100M to Circle and extends our partnership for five years.
This partnership is about bringing a stable, reliable digital dollar within reach of anyone with a phone.
We are building this to last. Proud to be partners with @circle @jerallaire.

What a day for the entire @circle team. We launched @arc, a new economic operating system for the internet.
I’m deeply proud of what our team has built. But I'm even prouder that we didn’t build it alone. More than 100 leading institutions and partners are helping operate and grow the network from day one, including BlackRock, DTCC, ICE, Mastercard, Standard Chartered, Visa, and many more.
Seeing this vision become a reality, with so many exceptional partners, is a privilege and a day I'll never forget.
We are here! #arc is on mainnet - watch the livestream to hear all about it.
When Arc brings the next layer of internet finance online, watch it live on September 16.
Hear from Circle leaders and guest speakers during the Arc Mainnet Launch livestream, featuring keynotes, product demos, and a closer look at what goes live with Arc.
No more waiting. Register to watch the Arc launch: community.arc.io/public/even…

Korea is often seen as a retail crypto market, but the institutional story is becoming clear.
Banks, super apps, exchanges, and payment companies are making decisions across:
→ Trading venues
→ Stablecoins
→ Tokenized securities
→ Settlement rails
For global capital markets, the takeaway is clear: regulatory clarity is arriving, and infrastructure choices are being made now.

Recently, we’ve heard a lot about the USDT audit. I decided to check how liquidity has improved over the past year for USDC instruments compared to USDT instruments (on Binance, spot exchange). The procedure is as follows:
1. Calculate the roundtrip cost for a $100k trade — the cost of executing a buy and sell simultaneously for $100k.
2. Do this for both the USDT and USDC instruments for a given coin.
3. Randomly select N two-hour intervals for each coin — one from roughly a year ago and one from the current market.
4. Compute CostImbalance = (USDT_cost − USDC_cost) / (USDT_cost + USDC_cost) for the first interval (one year ago) and the second interval (now).
5. Compute the difference between the two CostImbalance values.
Positive values indicate an improvement in USDC liquidity. For example, if CostImbalance = −0.75 in the first interval (meaning much higher roundtrip cost for USDC) and CostImbalance = −0.5 in the second interval (still higher roundtrip cost for USDC, but less extreme), then the difference would be 0.25 — showing that USDC liquidity has improved relative to USDT.
I ran this for around 40 coins, using 6 different interval pairs per coin. You can clearly see that the liquidity gap for USDC is significantly smaller now than it was a year ago — not just nominally, but relative to USDT liquidity.

“Synthetic dollars give you synthetic feelings of safety”—
This debate from a couple weeks ago foreshadowed this week.
Tokenized funds are great— but when they masquerade as rebasing stablecoins, ppl forget you cant put the genie back in when something inevitably goes wrong..
Debated 1v1 against @gametheorizing on whether synthetic dollars (e.g. Ethena) will lead to the next Luna-style crash, to a full house yesterday at @blockworksDAS in London.
We held this debate just yesterday, right after the wreckage from the weekend.
Who do you think won? 👇
