Circle Rolls Out StableFX And Partner Stablecoins To Advance Institutional FX And Stablecoin Issuance
In Brief
Circle has launched StableFX and Circle Partner Stablecoins on Arc, enabling institutional stablecoin FX, real-time settlement, and enhanced liquidity for selected regional stablecoins.
Financial technology company Circle unveiled two new offerings built on the Arc platform: Circle StableFX and Circle Partner Stablecoins. StableFX is an institutional-grade stablecoin foreign exchange engine currently available on public testnet, while Circle Partner Stablecoins is a program designed to support selected regional stablecoin issuers worldwide.
These offerings operate together as an integrated stack to enhance foreign exchange functionality. Arc provides the programmable settlement infrastructure that ensures secure, real-time transaction finality, Circle Partner Stablecoins brings selected regional stablecoins into the ecosystem, and StableFX delivers the technology connecting counterparties and liquidity providers.
StableFX is a newly developed stablecoin-based foreign exchange engine that allows institutions to access and settle select stablecoin currency pairs continuously, providing competitive rates, reduced counterparty risk, and on-chain settlement.
Access is limited to institutions that have completed thorough Know-Your-Business (KYB) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification, creating a compliance-focused trading environment.
The platform offers competitive pricing with low slippage through request-for-quote execution across multiple liquidity providers, ensures on-chain settlement where both payment and delivery occur simultaneously to reduce settlement risk, and features a 24/7, capital-efficient design with programmable settlement windows and netting models.
Its all-to-all model removes the need for multiple bilateral agreements, simplifying onboarding and providing faster access to global liquidity. StableFX is currently live on the Arc testnet and available for experimentation ahead of the planned mainnet launch in 2026.
Circle Partner Stablecoins To Enhance Liquidity, Interoperability, And Real-Time FX Settlement
The initiative is aimed at supporting select non-USD stablecoins deploying on the Arc platform.
Eligible participants must meet standards related to technical and operational capabilities, reserve management, and risk governance. By joining the program, stablecoin issuers gain integration with real-world payments, remittances, and FX flows via the Circle Payments Network (CPN) and StableFX, enhancing their utility and adoption.
They also gain access to Circle’s global liquidity provider network and seamless interoperability with USDC, improving liquidity, visibility, and engagement within the digital assets ecosystem.
Initial participants expected to join include Avenia, Beyond Digital Asset Custody Services, Coins.ph, Forte, Juno, JYPC, Stablecorp, and the ZAR Universal Network, with early collaborations already underway.
Together with StableFX and Arc, these stablecoins enable on-chain FX trading and real-time settlement across supported currencies.
StableFX and Circle Partner Stablecoins reflect the evolution of foreign exchange in a real-time, global financial environment.
Integrated with Arc, they transform FX into a seamless backbone for a borderless economy where liquidity flows continuously, settlements occur instantly, and stablecoins interoperate across networks.
Circle encourages fintechs, banks, payment providers, trading firms, enterprises, and stablecoin issuers to participate in building this next generation of global financial infrastructure.
