21X Group Joins Arc Ecosystem as Day-1 Launch Partner with Circle

21X Group has announced its collaboration with Circle as it joins Arc as a Day-1 launch partner. This partnership aims to explore the use of Arc for tokenized securities on 21X Group's trading and settlement systems.

The EU-based subsidiary, 21X AG, operates the first fully regulated trading and settlement system for tokenized securities in the EU. It has entered into a collaboration with Circle to build use cases for issuers and brokers of tokenized securities on Arc across EU and US markets.

Arc is an open, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built for financial markets, real-time money movement, and agentic economic activity. It uses stablecoins as gas, starting with Circle's own USDC.
