#StablecoinPayments
A stablecoin payment refers to using a stablecoin—a type of cryptocurrency that's pegged to a stable asset like the US dollar—for sending or receiving payments. Stablecoins aim to avoid the price volatility of traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Examples of Stablecoins:
USDT (Tether) – Pegged to USD
USDC (USD Coin) – Pegged to USD
DAI – Decentralized, pegged to USD
EUROC – Pegged to the Euro
How Stablecoin Payments Work:
1. Sender uses a wallet (like MetaMask, Phantom, or Trust Wallet) to send a stablecoin to the recipient's wallet address.
2. The transaction is confirmed on a blockchain (Ethereum, Solana, etc.).
3. The recipient receives the stablecoin and can hold it, convert to local currency, or use it in other crypto services.
