Circle has opened Arc with USDC fees, institutional validators and more than 100 builders—but the network begins permissioned and its 10 billion minted ARC tokens are not publicly available. Does institutional control make stablecoin rails safer, or simply move gatekeepers onchain?

Also covered: $450.33 million leaving United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds after the CLARITY Act vote, Payward proposing regulated Hyperliquid perpetual futures, Deutsche Bank planning crypto custody, VIVA using stablecoins through Avalanche-based Iris, and Theo launching a silver-leasing token.

Listener question: Would you value Arc’s predictable USDC fees and institutional validators more than open participation in network validation?
