Kraken Adds USDC Support on Arc Layer 1 Platform
Kraken has announced that it now supports deposits and withdrawals of USDC on Arc. This means that users can fund their accounts using USDC via the Arc network.
Arc is an open, EVM-compatible Layer 1 platform designed for financial markets, real-time money movement, and agentic economic activity. It uses stablecoins as gas, starting with USDC, to keep transaction costs predictable and secure.
The Arc mainnet went live on September 16, 2026, following a private mainnet period that included more than 100 ecosystem and institutional builders. Markets available at launch include lending, borrowing, trading, on-chain FX, payments, and tokenized assets.
Kraken's client engagement specialists cannot answer questions about which assets the exchange may make available in the future.
