Arc's stablecoin supply has seen a significant increase of 33.51% over the past week, reaching approximately $830.34 million. This data comes from DefiLlama's Arc tracker and indicates a strong growth trajectory for the platform.
The majority of Arc's stablecoin balance is composed of Circle's 
USDC, which is currently the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization. Despite the growth on Arc, the global stablecoin market has experienced a decline in the same period.
The discrepancy between Arc's growth and the overall market contraction suggests a potential shift in stablecoin adoption patterns. While the broader market sheds stablecoin inventory, Arc is gaining traction, particularly with USDC.
As of the latest data, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.78 trillion, with 
Bitcoin down 0.84% in the past 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index remains at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
USDC, the primary stablecoin on Arc, is currently priced at $0.99975, with a 24-hour change of +0.03% and a 7-day change of -0.01%. Its market cap is $71.66 billion, reflecting a stable price and strong market presence.
Since this brief published about 8 hours ago, USDC (USDC) has moved from ₹95.01$0.9998 to ₹95.01$0.9997 — -0.00%.
The chart plots USDC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDC ≈ ₹101.87 (about $0.9997), up 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 7.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
