TREE NEWS update: Meme coin launchpad Pools said on X that it has partnered with Arc to become the chain’s first launchpad, a post reshared by Arc’s product lead. The announcement comes a day before Arc’s mainnet launch on September 16, which Circle has said will be validated by financial firms including BlackRock and DTCC.
Pools Becomes Launchpad Partner for Arc Chain Ahead of Mainnet
Being first matters more than the partnership itself: Arc's pitch rests on validation by large financial firms, and a meme coin launchpad is an unusual first application for a chain courting that audience. The pairing suggests Arc is hedging between institutional credibility and retail on-chain activity, with Pools positioned to capture speculative flow the moment the network goes live. Whether that mix holds — or whether institutional validators distance themselves from meme-coin activity — is the open question after launch.
