ZARP rand stablecoinNew

South Africa's longest-running rand stablecoin, live on Ethereum since 2021 and later on Polygon, Base and Solana. ZARP Stablecoin issues it as a representative of Inves Capital (whose crypto-asset licence is pending); new tokens are created when issuing partners such as OVEX, ChainEX and AFRIDAX buy them, and the rand sits in Standard Bank accounts and an Old Mutual Wealth treasury. Kempen Audit checks reserves against supply monthly. About ZAR 77.6m was in circulation at the end of September 2026, with reserves of ZAR 93.1m.
