The rate hike was priced in.
Now send it.
Circle just launched its own blockchain.
Here is what Arc actually is.
Circle issues USDC, the 74 billion dollar stablecoin.
For years it has put USDC on other people's chains. Today it opened the public mainnet of its own.
The problem Arc was built to solve
Every blockchain you have used charges gas in a volatile token.
If you run a payments company, your cost per transaction depends on what ETH or SOL did that morning, which makes pricing impossible.
Settlement is also probabilistic on most chains, so a transaction becomes final only after enough blocks pass.
Arc changes both. Gas is pai

BREAKING: The CLARITY Act has FAILED to get the 60 Senate votes needed to advance.
Bitcoin: -2.5%
Coinbase: -6%
Strategy: -5%
IBIT: -3%
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is down just 0.2%.
And today’s vote does NOT make the CLARITY Act law. It only decides whether the bill advances in the Senate.

🚨 CLARITY Act odds just crashed to 18%.
1. Democrats reject GOP’s final offer
2. Passage odds: 32% → 18%
3. Crypto regulation faces another setback
Tomorrow, the US Senate decides the next 4 years of American crypto.
The CLARITY Act answers one question that has never had a legal answer.
When is a token a security, and when is it a commodity?
For a decade that was settled by lawsuits and enforcement actions instead of law.
Everything holding the industry together right now is temporary.
The SEC and CFTC issued joint guidance in March classifying 16 digital assets, and the next administration can erase all of it without a single vote.
The bill already passed the House in July 2025. It cleared Senate Banking in May. Then it stalled for fo

In August 2010, someone broke Bitcoin itself, and almost nobody was awake to see it.
On August 15, a developer named Jeff Garzik opened a thread on the Bitcoin forum with a title that sounds boring today: "Strange block 74638."
Inside that block sat a single transaction that had created 184,467,440,737 bitcoins out of nothing.
To understand how insane that is, remember that Bitcoin is supposed to have a hard limit of 21 million coins, forever.
At that moment only about 3.8 million existed. One person had just printed almost 8,800 times the entire supply that will ever exist.
