KuCoin Joins Arc Network as Mainnet Launch Partner

The integration simplifies the process for users looking to engage with applications on the Arc network, which focuses on treasury management and payment infrastructure. By serving as an early exchange partner, KuCoin provides a practical gateway for both retail users and institutional players to fund onchain workflows using USDC.

BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, stated that the partnership reflects a broader strategy to improve how institutions access blockchain infrastructure. He emphasized that early support from major exchanges is necessary to ensure the market connectivity required for traditional finance to integrate with onchain systems at scale. While the network is designed for real-world activity, Arc operates via a permissioned validator set and carries the inherent risks associated with early-stage blockchain technology, including potential smart contract vulnerabilities.
