A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency, such as the US dollar. This is achieved through stabilization mechanisms, such as reserves of fiat currency or algorithms that adjust the supply and demand of the stablecoin.
Stablecoins offer advantages such as:
- Price stability
- Fast and secure transactions
- Access to decentralized financial services
Examples of stablecoins include Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI). They are used for a variety of use cases, including payments, value transfers, and as a form of hedge against the volatility of other cryptocurrencies. This makes them an attractive option for investors and users.
