India prepares to launch its rupee-backed ARC stablecoin in the first quarter of 2026. After years of testing digital payments, CBDCs, and blockchain systems, this move marks a clear step toward a future where regulated stablecoins support both domestic and international financial activity. 

With the rising demand for faster and more transparent transactions, policymakers are moving forward with a model that aligns with India’s long-term fintech goals.

The ARC stablecoin represents more than just another payment tool; it could become a key building block of India’s next financial system. Over the years, regulators have sought ways to support innovation while maintaining strong oversight, and ARC aims to strike that balance.
