Circle’s Q2 picture is stronger beneath the headline than the slight revenue miss suggests: revenue and reserve income reached $701M, up 7% YoY, while adjusted EBITDA grew 8% to $143M. Yet USDC’s 25% YoY average circulation growth sits beside a 4.8% QoQ decline at quarter-end to $73.3B. That tension makes Arc strategically important. With a private mainnet underway and a Sep 16 public launch planned, its institutional validator set could help connect USDC demand to settlement and tokenized assets. My read: Arc’s real test is not launch visibility, but whether credible participation becomes sustained network usage. Not advice, just analysis. #CircleArcLaunch #OKXOrbit
