USDC on Arc trades at nearly 100% premium ahead of September 16 mainnet launch

  • Circle's Arc mainnet launches on September 16
  • Premium of USDC on Arc over USDC on Ethereum is nearly 100%
  • One platform conducted 11,660 swaps worth $5M+ with a 3% fee
  • Opensea and fomo announced support for Arc from day one
Why it matters: The hype around Arc shows demand for new L1s from major stablecoin issuers, but the 100% premium poses a risk to buyers if the price normalizes after launch.
