Neutral
Di impact dey neutral because USDC and EURC na fiat-pegged stablecoins, so if usage increase e no go change their price. Even though di pilot dey boost operational efficiency and adoption, pegged assets still dey maintain stable value. Short-term price impact no too get, and long-term benefits wey come from wider adoption no go affect di peg, so market view remain neutral.
