Stellar Gains Rand-Pegged ZARC on Network—Utility Boost if Adoption Follows

I view the launch of ZARC Coin, a rand‑pegged asset on the Stellar network, as a positive step for XLM's payments narrative. A local fiat‑pegged token can drive real‑world use cases like remittances, cross‑border payouts and merchant settlements denominated in ZAR.

That said, the impact on XLM depends on adoption, on‑chain volume and the trustworthiness of ZARC's peg and custody. If ZARC gains traction with South African corridors and payment providers, Stellar's utility and transaction demand should rise.

I'll be watching on‑chain activity, liquidity and regulatory signals before increasing exposure; short‑term price moves may be muted until clear volume and integrations appear.
