Arcium’s performance after its ARX token launch
Arcium launched its ARX token with Binance Alpha as the exclusive first listing venue. At launch, 208.83 million tokens (20.88%) of the 1 billion fixed supply entered circulation. The network reached Mainnet Alpha in February 2026 and has processed over 1.5 million confidential computations, with 15+ ecosystem teams building on it.
The token entered the market with a circulating market cap between $82M and $91M. During the first 24 hours, $ARX traded between $0.40 and $0.43, with high volume. Arcium is a Solana-based platform that uses multi-party computation to protect data in decentralized finance and AI applications. The Arcium team plans to launch testnets for new privacy protocols, integrate with select Solana-based DeFi projects, and introduce AI-focused data protection modules by the end of the year.
What is the significance of the Canton (CC) listing on Bithumb?
At the same time, Bitthumb’s listing of Canton (CC) introduces a privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain, designed for institutional use, to South Korean retail investors. The Canton network supports the tokenization of real-world assets and is backed by major financial firms such as Goldman Sachs and the DTCC. Canton’s roadmap includes advanced privacy features, more institutional partnerships, and a developer grant program set for Q3 2026.
