Real-world assets need real infrastructure. Introducing GetLiquid: the capital-formation layer for private credit, connecting originators and capital providers for real estate, structured and settled on @arc.

This is everything we stand for. It should not feel like you’re using crypto. It should feel seamless.

We’re thrilled to announce that GetLiquid has been chosen as a Circle Grant recipient! GetLiquid is bringing private credit onchain, connecting loan originators and investors through real estate loan participations powered by USDC settlement on Arc. Circle is helping bring the global economy onchain with USDC and a set of developer-first tools designed to make building with digital dollars easy, secure, and scalable. With Circle’s support, we’re excited to accelerate what we’re building—unlocking new possibilities through fast, cost-efficient, and interoperable onchain experiences.

Built on @arc @getliquid_io describes private credit as a $3.5 trillion market that still runs on spreadsheets, emails, and fragmented portals. Chris Miller, COO of GetLiquid, and Mark Napolitano, Blockchain Architect of the GetLiquid team, join my virtual studio to break down how they're bringing real estate lending onchain with @arc and digital asset accounts. GetLiquid uses digital asset accounts to help eligible originators and capital providers convert fiat to @USDC and move funds, avoiding the need to purchase on an exchange

Private credit still runs on spreadsheets. We sat down with @BuildOnCircle on how GetLiquid is changing that for real estate lending. Thank you @samconnerone and the Circle team for the support.

Meet Max Snider, our Head of Private Credit Product. Max brings the perspective of someone who works directly in private lending. His experience at LendBridge Capital informs how he approaches the tools we’re building for originators.

The technology was never the most interesting part. The real question was: what can it actually improve? For me, the answer wasn’t another speculative asset. It was using blockchain infrastructure to make established financial markets more transparent and efficient. That shift in perspective eventually led me to private credit, and to building @getliquid_io

Private credit doesn’t lack opportunity or capital, it has a connection problem. This connection problem is what @getliquid_io is trying to solve by building the bridge that fills the gap; one private marketplace where originators can present structured opportunities and approved capital providers can discover, fund, settle and track them. Institutional finance on the surface, @circle and @arc infrastructure in the background, making it all work perfectly as designed. Built different 🔥

Big week for GetLiquid. Arc mainnet is live, and our first originator and investor cohorts are moving through production onboarding. - @arc mainnet is live. We’re in a controlled launch with an initial cohort of approved originators and investors, with broader access as the first settled transactions come through. - Circle production access is live, so we can run real KYB and wallet flows with USDC settlement on Arc. - Our first cohorts are onboarded and through KYB. Once Circle KYB approval lands, they’ll be able to test their first deals on GetLiquid on Arc mainnet. - We’re hardening the path from approval → deal → participation → funding and settlement before we open the gate wider. If you originate private credit or allocate into it, reach out.

A private credit deal can be worth millions and still depend on a chain of emails to move forward. That’s the friction @getliquid_io is working to address. Built on @Arc with Circle infrastructure, it’s developing a marketplace that connects lenders originating deals with eligible capital providers, bringing discovery, funding, settlement and reporting into a shared workflow. The interesting part is where blockchain sits: underneath the experience, supporting the infrastructure while the interface stays familiar. Soon to be publicly live on Arc mainnet. Built different 🔥

The ARC token has been minted. Circle is the first publicly traded company to mint a network token for a new blockchain. This is a technical milestone in the Arc roadmap as the network explores a future transition from Proof of Authority toward Proof of Stake. The minting of ARC does not represent any commitment to a public launch of the token. ARC is not live, tradeable, available for public use, or active for staking, governance, fees, or utility. The Arc network remains Proof of Authority today. Future ARC functionality and activation remain subject to change. Official ARC contract: explorer.arc.io/token/0xA12C…

Arc 🤝 GetLiquid We’re preparing to bring private credit workflows and USDC settlement to Arc. GetLiquid connects approved loan originators and capital providers. Our initial rollout will focus on: → Loan participations with connected documentation, funding, and settlement.
→ USDC payments tied to real-world lending.
→ Clear participation ownership records, distributions, and transaction history. The goal is to give originators and investors a shared workflow from the initial participation agreement through ongoing reporting. We’ll start with a controlled cohort of approved originators and investors, with broader availability to follow after validation. Learn more and request access: getliquid.io

Arc’s RWA thesis is already taking shape through an ecosystem spanning assets, credit, infrastructure, and onchain yield. The early projects building on @arc point to a broader tokenization stack: Tokenized equities • Dinari ( @DinariGlobal ) → tokenized stocks and ETFs • Archive ( @archiveonarc ) → tokenized stocks • Light ( @lightlending ) → lending against tokenized stocks • AI Arc Investor ( @aiarcinvestor ) → described as a “first memestock” Private credit • Liquid ( @getliquid_io ) → tokenized private credit • Maple ( @maplefinance ) → tokenized private credit / institutional onchain credit Commodities • Chennai ( by @arjunlevi ) → tokenized commodities • Froth ( @froth_meme ) → commodities + RWA markets + tokenized credit Energy • OpenVPP ( @OpenVPP ) → tokenized energy infrastructure / energy rails RWA infrastructure • Trize ( @trize_io ) → institutional tokenization rails • Centrifuge ( @centrifuge ) → RWA issuer • Securitize ( @Securitize ) → institutional tokenization • Fluent ( @dabere75 ) → RWA marketplace RWA yield / DeFi • Realise ( @RealiseFi ) → RWA yield • Lagoon ( @lagoon_finance ) → onchain RWA vaults • Aethel ( @AethelFinance ) → RWA vaults The bigger signal is not the number of RWA projects on Arc, but the range of financial primitives being built. Arc is shaping up as an RWA settlement layer spanning tokenization, credit, markets, and yield.

The Economic OS for the internet is officially live! The day we’ve all been waiting for 💙

Everyone was asking how to fractionalize a property. I started asking a different question: what about the capital that funds it? That question led me to private credit, and eventually to building @getliquid_io Sometimes the opportunity isn’t where everyone is looking.

The ART of private credit. Accessible: Remove unnecessary barriers. Real: Substance over hype. Transparent: Make trust verifiable. This is the foundation of everything we build.
