The Circle executive says Arc and USDC could reduce settlement failures and costs in one of finance's least glamorous plumbing problems Securities lending rarely makes headlines. It mostly comes up when something in the back office breaks. Circle executive Kris Gower wants to change that. He argues that the company’s Arc blockchain and its USDC stablecoin could reduce settlement failures and costs in securities lending, a corner of finance that still runs on legacy rails and banking-hour cutoffs. Gower made the case on the BitGo podcast, which aired around November 4-5, 2026.
