Circle has flagged scaling its payments network and institution-focused blockchain as a 2026 priority as companies look to examine how to use stablecoins.
Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group plans to focus on building more durable infrastructure throughout 2026 to spur greater adoption among companies and institutions.
Circle chief product and technology officer Nikhil Chandhok said in a blog post on Thursday that the company is aiming to push Arc, its layer-1 blockchain designed for institutional and large-scale use, from testnet toward production.
At the same time, Circle plans to focus on deepening the utility and reach of its tokens, USDC (USDC), EURC, USYC, and its partner-launched stablecoins by expanding to more chains.
