KuCoin Goes Live on Arc at Mainnet Launch, Broadening Access to Onchain Finance

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced that it is live on Arc as a mainnet launch partner, enabling eligible users to move USDC directly between KuCoin and Arc from day one.

As real-world financial activity moves onchain, exchanges are increasingly important in connecting established markets with emerging financial networks. By supporting Arc at launch, KuCoin expands the network options available for USDC and provides a practical access point to an ecosystem built around payments, treasury management, tokenized assets and programmable finance.

For users, the integration reduces the steps required to access supported applications on Arc. For businesses and institutions, it provides an additional route for funding eligible onchain workflows with USDC as the ecosystem develops.

"The next phase of blockchain adoption will be defined not only by what can be built onchain, but by how reliably users and institutions can access it," said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. "As one of the first global exchanges to support Arc at mainnet launch, KuCoin is helping connect established digital-asset markets with emerging infrastructure for real-world financial activity. Early exchange support helps establish the accessibility, trust and market connectivity needed for traditional and onchain finance to work together at scale."

With this launch support, KuCoin continues to expand the network options available to users and make supported onchain applications easier to access.
