Decentralized trading platform edgeX has announced the launch of its application-specific Rollup, EDGE Chain, built on Arbitrum. This new chain aims to enhance on-chain trading infrastructure by employing a modular architecture that separates transaction execution from DeFi logic, thereby improving efficiency in high-frequency trading environments. In a strategic collaboration, Circle Ventures has partnered with edgeX, enabling EDGE Chain to support native USDC and the cross-chain transfer protocol CCTP. The platform is expected to go live in March, according to edgeX.
