edgeX to launch 24/7 FX perpetuals on Arc mainnet as Day 1 partner with 150+ markets

edgeX will launch 24/7 FX perpetuals on September 16, 2026, when Arc mainnet goes live, starting with USD-JPY and offering 150+ perpetual markets across stocks, commodities, and crypto, all margined and settled in native USDC. The launch builds on an existing relationship with Circle: Circle Ventures is an investor in edgeX, and the teams have collaborated on native USDC issuance and CCTP integration for EDGE Chain. Future plans under consideration include more FX pairs, FX spot markets pairing USDC with non-USD stablecoins, and using non-USD stablecoins as margin. The author argues Arc's USDC-based rails address FX's weekend closures and two-day settlement.
