Socure builds identity verification into Circle's Arc blockchain

Socure says its RiskOS platform now provides identity verification, biometric KYC and fraud controls on Circle's Arc blockchain, beginning with users who buy USDC through Arc Onramp. The company describes identity as moving from a one-time onboarding check to a lifecycle layer, with a shared data graph across almost 4,000 customers and possible reusable identity as AI agents enter the network. The development matters because a system once built around pseudonymity is tying participation in digital money to verified identity, a pattern consistent with growing links between identity and access to payments.
