It is claimed that ARC may be backed by government securities and Treasury bills. ARC is expected to be pegged 1:1 to the Indian Rupee. The reserve assets would represent the value of government securities held in custody.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-959886300\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/delta\/\" aria-label=\"Delta Exchange Ads\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1.png\" alt=\"Delta Exchange Ads\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1.png 500w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>ARC is expected to be a regulated digital asset rather than a speculative cryptocurrency. Its purpose would be to maintain price stability and improve transparency, unlike many volatile crypto assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-a-rupee-backed-stablecoin-needed\"><strong>Why Is a Rupee-Backed Stablecoin Needed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most widely used stablecoins today, such as USDT and USDC, are backed by the US dollar. This leads to heavy dependence on dollar-based digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rupee-backed stablecoin could:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce US dollar dominance in digital transactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote the use of the Indian rupee in blockchain ecosystems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve trust through government-backed reserves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite India\u2019s cautious stance on cryptocurrencies, such a model could support regulated digital finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-arc-work\"><strong>How Does ARC Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ARC is expected to operate as a token on the Polygon blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transactions on Polygon are relatively fast and low-cost, making the token suitable for everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed mechanism works as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The issuer purchases government bonds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Based on these reserves, new ARC tokens are minted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When users redeem ARC, the process is reversed and tokens are burned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This system ensures that every token in circulation is backed by real financial assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-compliance-and-regulatory-framework\"><strong>Compliance and Regulatory Framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This token is expected to comply with foreign exchange, KYC, and AML regulations. To mint and redeem ARC, participating businesses would likely need regulatory approval and licences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some reports suggest that smart contract-based systems, possibly integrated with decentralised exchanges, may be used<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfers may be programmed to occur only between verified and approved parties. This would ensure that ARC remains within India\u2019s regulatory framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arc-vs-digital-rupee\"><strong>ARC vs Digital Rupee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ARC is reportedly backed by sovereign debt instruments, not directly by RBI-issued cash. ARC would be backed by government securities rather than central bank liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes ARC different from the Digital Rupee (CBDC), which is directly issued by the RBI. However, both systems remain centralised and permission-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/crypto\/on-chain-metrics-do-investors-need-to-care\/\">On-Chain Metrics: Do Investors Need to Care?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-potential-challenges-and-concerns\"><strong>Potential Challenges and Concerns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-centralisation-and-control\"><strong>1. Centralisation and Control<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics argue that ARC may conflict with decentralised finance principles. It could become another centrally controlled digital currency, similar to the Digital Rupee, requiring government approval for usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-foreign-exchange-restrictions\"><strong>2. Foreign Exchange Restrictions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>India follows partial capital account convertibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The rupee cannot be freely used abroad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overseas investments remain restricted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, ARC may face limitations in international usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any non-compliant transactions would need to be blocked to meet FEMA and RBI regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-market-and-liquidity-risks\"><strong>3. Market and Liquidity Risks<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it is backed by bonds, its value may be affected by interest rate movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bond-backed reserves may face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Price fluctuations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liquidity constraints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher redemption costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Large-scale redemptions could put pressure on reserve management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-regulatory-uncertainty\"><strong>4. Regulatory Uncertainty<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian regulators are still developing a clear framework for crypto and digital assets. Although reports suggest a 2026 launch, regulatory clarity is still evolving. Without proper guidelines, implementation may be delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While reports suggest that ARC could become India\u2019s first rupee-backed stablecoin, there is currently no official confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If launched successfully, ARC could:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strengthen the digital rupee ecosystem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce reliance on dollar-based stablecoins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote regulated blockchain finance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, challenges related to regulation, centralisation, liquidity, and foreign exchange laws must be addressed before large-scale adoption becomes possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Written by Parvati Anilkumar<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-3185794311\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: This article discusses the proposed ARC (Asset Reserve Certificate), who is reportedly developing it, how it works, and the key concerns surrounding its launch in India.
