Arc Enables USDC Fee Payments through MetaMask Integration

The blockchain Arc, developed by Circle, is now integrated with MetaMask, allowing users to pay transaction fees in USDC. MetaMask will be designated as Arc's default wallet, supporting Arc on both browser and mobile apps, and will provide USDC display along with bridge and swap functionalities. Arc is designed to allow transaction fees to be paid in USDC instead of volatile tokens, enabling users to utilize their held USDC without the need to purchase separate gas tokens. The official website of Arc displays fees in dollar terms, and transactions are said to reach finality within one second. The average transaction cost on the testnet is reported to be $0.045, differing from previous reports. Arc's public mainnet is scheduled to launch on September 16, 2026, with plans to operate decentralized finance services such as Aave, Morpho, and Uniswap. The MetaMask integration focuses on reducing the wallet installation and gas asset preparation procedures for user convenience. Arc presents financial markets and institutional applications as its primary use cases, including plans for collaboration with firms like BlackRock, DTCC, and Standard Chartered.
