Aster integrates Arc for USDC deposits and withdrawals

  • Aster and Arc launched simultaneously on September 16, 2026
  • USDC is used as the asset for deposits, withdrawals, and margin
  • USDC market cap is about $73.6 billion, daily volume is $18.9 billion
  • Gate also previously opened USDC deposits on the Arc network
Why it matters: Arc is strengthening as a settlement layer for exchanges, and USDC margin is becoming a competitive advantage for perpetual DEXs.
