Circle Launches On-Chain Refund Protocol for Arc Blockchain
- Circle plans to launch an on-chain refund protocol for its Arc blockchain to address fraud and compliance issues in stablecoin transactions.
- The Refund Protocol will hold disputed payments in escrow and enable arbiter-resolved refunds, allowing treasury teams and banks to manage disputes directly on-chain.
- Arc was introduced in August 2025 as an enterprise-grade Layer-1 blockchain designed for stablecoin-powered payments, foreign exchange, and capital markets.
- The network emphasizes regulatory compliance while enabling instant USDC settlements for financial institutions.
- In early September 2025, Circle partnered with Fireblocks to integrate Arc with the Fireblocks Network and Circle Payments Network, aiming to accelerate USDC adoption among banks through compliance-first dispute resolution tools.
Circle is set to introduce a refund protocol on its Arc blockchain to enhance fraud protection and compliance in stablecoin transactions. This initiative aims to meet the growing demand for on-chain payment infrastructure that aligns with traditional banking protections.
