ZAR Coin, the stablecoin recently bolstered its financial standing after raising $7 million in a funding round led by prestigious financial firms like Dragonfly Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and VanEck Ventures. The former CEO of SadaPay is set to spearhead this new platform.
ZAR Coin's launch creates new opportunities in South African market, particularly with regards to facilitating Rand deposits and withdrawals. A South African DeFi Startup called NeoNomad launched the stablecoin which is pegged to the South African Rand (ZAR).
Known figures in the industry are moving to new appointments, such as David Sacks, a former PayPal executive, being appointed as crypto czar by Trump. This could prop up interest and confidence in the crypto sector including stablecoins like ZAR Coin.
Meanwhile, the uptake of Bitcoin in Africa continues to increase as it nears all-time highs, possibly causing a knock-on effect on ZAR Coin. In addition, the South African rand has witnessed fluctuations against the dollar, potentially creating a more conducive environment for the adoption of stablecoins such as ZAR Coin.
Cryptocurrency adoption and ZAR stability seem poised for a common trajectory. As both move in sync, the adoption of ZAR Coin, as well as other cryptocurrencies would be inevitable. South African crypto exchange, OVEX has added the first Rand Stablecoin, ZARP, on their platform, another move that indicates increasing acceptance of stablecoins.
An innovative initiative of ZAR Coin as a digital ZAR in Africa showcases a partnership between South African exchange, Xago and Nigerian-based Exchange, BitMama which is expected to deliver digital ZAR across Africa. All these factors collectively point to increased traction for ZAR Coin in the near term.
