Abstract

Circle旗下公链Arc的原生代币ARC完成2.22亿美元预售,网络完全稀释估值达30亿美元,由a16z crypto等一线机构领投。此举引发市场对Circle上市公司股票CRCL与ARC代币价值关系的疑问。 文章指出,Circle自建Arc公链是为了满足机构级客户对资产确权、合规、隐私及稳定Gas成本的需求,弥补现有公链的不足,旨在将USDC的流通基础设施掌握在自己手中。 ARC代币与作为Gas代币的USDC形成双代币设计。USDC确保交易稳定和成本可预测,而ARC则用于网络PoS质押和治理,将参与者利益与网络长期发展绑定,解决经济协调问题。 在价值捕获上,CRCL股东主要获取Circle公司层面的稳定现金流(如USDC储备金利息)和现有业务增长;ARC则直接捕获网络层面的增长弹性,如手续费转化和生态扩张。Circle持有25%的ARC,能间接分享网络成功,但两者法律上完全独立。 对于普通用户,可通过参与Arc测试网交互、加入Arc House社区积累贡献等方式低成本参与生态。文章最后提醒,机构上链赛道竞争激烈,ARC的长期价值需网络产生足够真实费用支撑,而CRCL有更清晰的现金流基础。监管进展对Circle构成利好,但Arc的最终成功取决于主网上线后的真实采用情况。

5 月 11 日,Circle 在发布 2026 年第一季度财报的同时,宣布旗下公链 Arc 的原生代币 ARC 完成 2.22 亿美元预售,网络完全稀释估值 30 亿美元。

其中,a16z crypto 领投 7500 万美元,BlackRock、Apollo、纽交所母公司 ICE、SBI Group、渣打创投、ARK Invest 等一线机构跟投。

市场随之产生一个核心疑问:Circle 已是上市公司,如果看好其未来,直接持有 CRCL 股票即可,为什么还要发行 ARC 代币?两者都在捕捉 Arc 网络的价值,各自又值什么?

一、Circle 为何自建 Arc

Circle 为什么不继续在以太坊或 Solana 上发行和使用 USDC,而是要耗费巨大资源自建一条公链?

a16z Crypto 对此解释道,随着全球金融逐步上链,未来将只有少数公链能够承载“链上经济系统底座”。

稳定币去年交易规模已接近 9 万亿美元,与 Visa、PayPal 等全球支付网络处于同一量级,跨境支付、B2B 结算和外汇交易正成为稳定币核心场景,稳定币已升级为全球金融基础设施的核心层。

然而,现有区块链基础设施仍主要面向加密原生用户与个人开发者,缺乏对大型机构级需求的原生支持。

业内人士指出,机构在链上开展业务时面临几大核心痛点,包括资产发行与赎回需要链上链下完全闭环确权、支付需要确定性最终性、合规能力需前置底层、可配置隐私保护,以及用 USDC 实现可预测的 Gas 成本

这些需求,以太坊和 Solana 等现有公链难以原生满足。

Circle 来说,过去公司主要依靠 USDC 储备金利息实现盈利,一季度USDC 流通量达到 770 亿美元,同比增长 28%随着业务规模持续扩大,仅依赖现有公链已无法完全匹配机构客户的深层需求。

因此,Circle 推出 Arc,其核心目的之一正是为了填补这一空白。稳定币流通在别人的链上,并不意味着稳定币金融就属于自己——这才是 Circle 决定自建 L1 的底层逻辑。

二、USDC 解决了交易问题,ARC 解决的是协调问题

既然 USDC 已经是 Arc 的 Gas 代币,为什么还要发一个 ARC 代币?

USDC 已经很好地解决了交易层面的稳定性问题。机构可以用美元直接计价支付手续费,成本可预测、可入账,避免了加密资产价格波动给财务部门带来的麻烦。

但网络要长期健康运行,仅仅解决交易问题还不够,还需要处理协调问题。

据官方白皮书,Arc 将从目前的 PoA 逐步过渡到 PoS。验证节点需要质押资产来保障网络安全,质押的核心是用经济利益绑定节点行为,一旦作恶就会面临罚没。USDC 价值恒定在 1 美元,无法让节点与网络成败真正绑定,只有原生代币 ARC 才能提供这种动态的经济激励。

治理层面同样需要利益绑定。手续费率、通胀参数、销毁比例等关键决策,需要参与者从长期视角出发。如果仅用 USDC 投票,持有者容易缺乏持续动力,投完票即可离场。ARC 持有者的资产价值与网络表现直接挂钩,更有动机做出有利于网络长期发展的选择。

白皮书同时明确,ARC 的治理权存在阶段性边界。经济参数由代币持有者投票决定,但协议升级、安全事件处理、验证节点资质审核等重要事项,初期仍由 Circle 保留控制权,后续将随治理机制成熟逐步下放。

简单来说,USDC 是 Arc 网络的血液,负责日常高效流动;ARC 则是网络的股权,负责把各方利益长期绑定在一起。这种双代币设计,也让生态建设成本从 Circle 的固定现金支出,部分转化为与网络成败挂钩的激励安排。

三、CRCL 和 ARC,分别在吃哪块蛋糕

如此一来,Circle 同时拥有上市公司股权 CRCL 和网络原生代币 ARC,两者都在捕捉同一个 Arc 网络的价值。那么,它们各自究竟在吃哪块蛋糕?

据白皮书,Arc 总供应量为 100 亿枚 ARC 代币,分配比例明确:60% 用于生态系统,包括开发者激励、网络增长计划和用户参与奖励;25% 归属 Circle 公司,用于运营验证节点、质押和治理;15% 作为长期储备,用于网络稳定和战略灵活性。

费用机制方面,Arc 上所有协议费用,无论用户用哪种资产支付,都会在协议层被全额转换为 ARC,一部分永久销毁,一部分分配给质押者和验证者。网络活动越活跃,ARC 的价值捕获就越强。

CRCL 股东主要通过 Circle 公司层面获利。公司继续享受 USDC 储备金利息这一核心收入,以及支付网络 CPN 等其他业务增长带来的收益。同时,Circle 持有 25% 的 ARC,也能间接分享网络层面的奖励。

加密分析师 BTCdayu 提出一个三维估值框架来理解 CRCL:第一维是储备金利息收入,这是目前最稳定的现金流,构成估值地板;第二维是支付网络收入,随着 CPN 规模扩大,这部分有望接近 Visa 式的网络手续费模式;第三维则是 Arc 带来的网络期权价值,这是市场对 Circle 从稳定币发行商转型为金融基础设施平台的预期。

简单说,CRCL 捕捉的是公司整体的稳定现金流和现有业务增长,ARC 捕捉的则是网络层面的增长弹性,包括 Gas 费用转化、生态扩张和长期网络效应。

两者形成明显的双轨结构。Arc 网络越成功,USDC 使用量越大、业务协同越强,Circle 公司层面受益;同时 ARC 代币价值上升,Circle 持有的 25% 份额也会增值,最终传导给 CRCL 股东。

不过,两者在法律层面完全独立。官方提到,ARC 不代表 Circle 的股权,也不会对 Circle 的收入、利润、资产或 CRCL 股份提出任何索取权。这意味着 ARC 持有者没有上市公司股东的受托责任保护,其收益完全取决于网络实际采用情况和代币经济学设计。

四、普通用户如何参与撸毛

弄清楚 CRCL 和 ARC 的价值分配后,一个现实问题是:ARC 代币到底卖给谁?普通用户又该如何低成本参与?

第一类买家是机构战略投资者。他们通过 2.22 亿美元预售入场,单价 0.3 美元,锁仓期 1 到 4 年不等。这批机构不仅提供资金,还大多是 Arc 的潜在用户和建设者。例如 BlackRock 已在测试网测试代币化资产结算,ICE 作为纽交所母公司、SBI Group 作为日本最大金融集团之一,都在为未来在 Arc 上开展业务提前布局。

第二类是生态建设者和长期持有者。开发者、流动性提供者通过贡献获得 ARC 激励,60% 的生态分配正是为此准备。他们更看重网络长期增长,类似于早期员工持有公司股权。

第三类是零售投机者和参与者。他们关注早期叙事机会和生态激励,期待主网上线后的价格弹性。

对于没有预售资格的普通用户,Arc 提供了多条低成本参与路径。

Arc Testnet 已于 2025 年 10 月启动,截至目前已处理超过 2.44 亿笔测试交易,主网预计 2026 年夏季上线。用户可免费领取测试代币,进行 Swap、Bridge、合约部署等操作,熟悉网络交互。

Arc House 社区是普通用户最主要的参与入口。用户可以通过注册社区、保持活跃、发帖、阅读内容、参与问答等方式积累积分。答案被采纳还会有额外加分。

进阶方式包括内容贡献、视频分享、活动组织,甚至线下 Meetup 主持等。此外,有团队或产品的用户还可以申请 Circle Developer Grants。

需要说明的是,Arc House 积分仅为社区贡献认可,不具备货币价值,也不保证任何具体权益分配,具体规则以官方最新公布为准。

结语

目前机构上链赛道竞争激烈,并非 Arc 一家独大。

Canton Network 所属的 Digital Asset 正在以约 20 亿美元估值完成新一轮融资,由 a16z crypto 领投;Plasma 定位稳定币原生结算,估值相对更具吸引力;Visa 已在 4 月将 Arc、Canton、Plasma、Base、Tempo 等项目同时纳入稳定币结算测试点。这表明该赛道仍处于多家并行、竞争发展的阶段。

在此背景下,Arc 30 亿美元的预售 FDV 处于相对较高位置。散户若在二级市场参与,需要充分评估项目叙事潜力以及赛道内部的竞争格局。

从长期来看,持有每年通胀 2% 至 3% 的 ARC,需要网络产生足够真实的手续费来抵消增发压力,才能实现价值增长。而 CRCL 则依托 USDC 储备金利息和支付网络收入,拥有相对清晰的现金流支撑。两者面对的是不同的风险收益结构。

短期来看,市场情绪往往有自身逻辑。主网上线前后,叙事集中爆发期可能带来阶段性机会,届时 Circle 持有的 25% ARC 也将增值,CRCL 股东同样能从中受益。

监管层面,GENIUS Act 的落地巩固了 Circle 的护城河,而 CLARITY Act 新版草案已公开,目前正在国会推进,有望为数字资产生态提供更清晰的监管确定性,对 Circle 而言是重要利好。

总体而言,Arc 是 Circle 目前重要的战略举措之一,白皮书指出,“一个全球经济操作系统无法由单一实体来协调,它将使用 Arc 的参与者转化为维持 Arc 的参与者。” 这一愿景最终能否实现,仍取决于主网上线后能否吸引足够规模的真实机构交易和经济活动。

在所有数据真正落地之前,所有叙事都仍是叙事。

Warsh's Debut: Will the FED Chair Who Knows Crypto Best Bring Surprises or Shocks to the Market?

Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve Chairman, prepares for his inaugural press conference amidst a challenging macroeconomic landscape: resurgent inflation, a bond market sell-off, and political pressure from President Trump for rate cuts. Uniquely, Warsh holds indirect investments in over 20 crypto and Web3 entities (e.g., Solana, dYdX), making him the first Fed Chair with disclosed crypto exposure. His stance may combine a hawkish, inflation-focused monetary policy with a crypto-friendly regulatory philosophy that shifts from Powell’s “same risk, same rule” approach toward a framework acknowledging blockchain’s productivity value. Warsh’s leadership could impact crypto markets across three dimensions: a paradigm shift in regulation (potentially accelerating pro-innovation legislation and stable币 rules), a re-pricing of risk premiums based on clearer communication and his view of AI as a structural disinflationary force, and a long-term reallocation of global institutional capital driven by increased legitimacy. Two potential scenarios for the press conference are outlined. A “positive surprise” would involve a dovish-leaning tone on rates coupled with signals of regulatory openness, potentially boosting crypto asset valuations. Conversely, a “negative shock” would see a more hawkish-than-expected stance on inflation and rates, triggering a broad risk-asset selloff that crypto markets would not escape. While ethics rules required Warsh to divest his crypto holdings upon confirmation, his deep understanding of the technology may fundamentally lower policy uncertainty and build a more receptive long-term foundation for digital assets’ integration into the mainstream financial system.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities. February 2025: Ondo Global Markets is announced, marking the transition into equity tokenisation with plans for accessing over one hundred U.S. stocks and ETFs. September 2025: The official launch of Ondo Global Markets includes CRMON alongside other tokenised equity offerings, marking a significant evolution in Ondo Finance's product ecosystem. This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity. Regulatory Framework and Compliance Approach Ondo Finance's regulatory framework showcases a sophisticated compliance strategy, essential for achieving institutional adoption in the tokenised securities market. The company's strong partnerships with U.S.-registered broker-dealers promote adherence to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and apply robust investor protections. Acquisitions, such as Oasis Pro—a registered broker-dealer—significantly enhance Ondo Finance's compliance capabilities, ensuring thorough alignment with existing regulatory structures. The company employs independent verification procedures that foster transparency, aiming for a solid performance standards reputation. Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations. Comprehensive attention to tax implications and reporting requirements fortifies the security and compliance landscape of CRMON, ensuring that investor obligations remain manageable. Future Prospects and Market Positioning The forward-looking landscape for CRMON and Ondo Finance illustrates substantial growth opportunities driven by institutional adoption of blockchain technology and escalating demand for efficient alternatives to conventional securities ownership. Market projections indicate the tokenised asset sector could value multiple trillion dollars by 2030. With plans to scale CRMON offerings significantly and integrate it with a dedicated blockchain infrastructure—Ondo Chain—Ondo Finance aims to elevate its institutional-grade tokenised asset operations. Additionally, the development of strategic partnerships enhances distribution capabilities while establishing the company's credibility in the financial market. Furthermore, the integration of tokenised equity with decentralised finance protocols offers new potential for innovative financial products and strategies previously impossible with traditional securities. These factors underscore CRMON's positioning to effectively capture increased market share and deliver innovative solutions for international investment exposure. Conclusion Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) symbolises a transformative development within financial markets, successfully bridging traditional equity ownership with blockchain technology to create unprecedented accessibility for global investors. Through Ondo Finance's sophisticated tokenisation framework, CRMON provides complete economic exposure to Salesforce equity performance while enhancing operational advantages that exceed traditional ownership. The launch of CRMON reflects the broader evolution of financial markets towards blockchain infrastructures that maintain regulatory compliance while delivering increased efficiency. Ondo Finance's extensive approach to regulatory adherence, institutional-grade security, and technological innovation solidifies CRMON as a model for future tokenised securities, delivering access previously unattainable in conventional brokerage structures. As the tokenised asset sector continues to develop, CRMON is well-positioned to address historical inefficiencies in capital markets while providing investors with innovative solutions for accessing traditional securities.
