Circle’s Arc Joins Chainlink Scale To Add CCIP And Data Infrastructure

Circle’s Arc has joined Chainlink Scale, giving developers on the stablecoin-native Layer 1 blockchain access to Chainlink infrastructure for cross-chain messaging, market data and reserve verification.

The integration brings Chainlink CCIP, Data Streams, Data Feeds and Proof of Reserve into Arc’s developer stack. Those tools are designed to support applications that need cross-chain transfers, low-latency data, reliable pricing and transparent reserve information for assets moving through onchain markets.

Arc is Circle’s stablecoin-focused Layer 1 blockchain, built for payments, FX, tokenized assets, lending, treasury management, capital markets and agentic economic activity. The network is currently on public testnet, with predictable dollar-based fees, deterministic settlement, compliance-ready privacy options and direct integration with Circle’s product stack.

The Chainlink Scale move gives Arc another enterprise infrastructure layer before mainnet. Circle has already positioned the network as a settlement foundation for stablecoins and tokenized finance after its Arc funding push drew institutional backing and put the chain deeper into the stablecoin-infrastructure race.

CCIP And Data Tools Target Stablecoin Finance

Chainlink CCIP gives Arc builders a cross-chain messaging and token-transfer framework. For stablecoin applications, that can support liquidity movement between networks, cross-chain payments, multichain treasury workflows and tokenized asset settlement without relying on custom bridge designs.

Data Feeds and Data Streams add the market-data layer. Lending markets, FX products, collateral systems and trading applications need pricing inputs that can update reliably and support risk controls. Data Streams are built for lower-latency use cases, while Data Feeds support widely used oracle pricing across DeFi and tokenized assets.

Proof of Reserve adds another layer for assets that need backing transparency. Arc’s target use cases include stablecoins, tokenized funds, wrapped assets and institutional collateral, where reserve visibility can help developers build minting, redemption and risk-monitoring logic around verifiable data.

The move also extends Chainlink’s recent enterprise distribution push. Chainlink’s data standard recently went live on AWS Marketplace, giving cloud teams and institutional developers another route to access oracle infrastructure through familiar enterprise software channels.

Arc Builds Around Tokenized Assets And Payments

Arc is designed for financial applications that need stablecoin-denominated fees, fast settlement and integrated liquidity rather than a general-purpose chain competing only on throughput. Its public testnet page lists active use cases across peer-to-peer payments, stablecoin FX, treasury management, prediction markets, lending, asset tokenization and agentic economic activity.

Chainlink’s infrastructure fits that direction because Arc’s target users are likely to need more than basic smart contract execution. A payment app may need cross-chain settlement. A lending market may need pricing and collateral data. A tokenized fund may need reserve or NAV-related verification. A stablecoin issuer may need integrations that connect liquidity across chains while preserving risk controls.

The partnership also strengthens Chainlink’s position inside payment and institutional rails. Chainlink recently worked with Mastercard on onchain crypto buying, and the Arc integration puts its tools inside another network built specifically for stablecoin settlement and programmable financial flows.
