Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026
- The three pillars of our platform are designed to reinforce one another: Arc is expected to provide an enterprise-grade foundation for stablecoin finance and consumer-scale applications; Circle Digital Assets and Services supply trusted units of value and liquidity infrastructure; and Circle Applications translate that infrastructure into real-world utility for institutions, developers, and end-users.
- We also aim to increase network activity through the launch of new products and services, expansion into new markets, and the fostering of third-party innovation on our platform, in each case, with a regulation-first approach.
- We believe these and other new product and service offerings will contribute to the growth of our platform and the use of Circle Digital Assets, and over time drive a flywheel of growth that has been the hallmark of successful internet-driven networks.
- We also expect growth in our network to drive increases in our stablecoins in circulation and thereby drive our reserve income.
- We anticipate growing these offerings in the coming years, diversifying our revenue profile.
- Over time, we expect to transition to a Proof-of-Stake or a delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism.
- The ARC token’s utility is expected to extend beyond the chain itself, spanning numerous protocols and products from us and our ecosystem partners on the Arc network.
- The growth and success of our business as well as our financial condition and operating results have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors, including:
- The internet financial system is built on blockchain infrastructure, and represents a fundamental shift that we believe will result in a profound change to the existing financial system by materially improving efficiency, reducing costs, expanding accessibility, and accelerating innovation.
- We believe we are well positioned to be among the winners in this emerging, transformative space, and we expect increased adoption and expansion of the internet financial system to be a key driver of growth in all our products and services, and hence of our overall financial performance.
- We expect increased awareness and interest in our platform, anchored by our stablecoin network, including both increasing penetration among our existing markets and expansion into new markets, to positively impact our performance.
- We expect this will, in turn, increase demand for Circle Digital Assets and serve as a critical driver to the growth of our platform.
