10 billion — that's how many ARC tokens Circle completed genesis minting for this week. Circle confirmed the minting process is done, but the company has yet to say whether the tokens will move toward public circulation.
This batch of tokens is tied to Circle's Arc mainnet. According to The Block, BlackRock and Visa have shown up on the list of validator nodes for the Arc mainnet.
For now, the only confirmed step is the genesis mint. Circle has offered no further details on whether or when ARC tokens will enter public circulation.
