#MastercardStablecoinCards A stablecoin is a dematerialized means of payment, most often created in accordance with asymmetric cryptography (and having followed the rise of cryptocurrencies – hence the suffix "coin" – from which it is derived), to which an identifiable issuer (a State, a group of companies, or even individuals) or a dedicated mechanism (such as a set of smart contracts deployed via a decentralized organization of the DAO type) attaches several assets, financial or otherwise, managing them in such a way as to guarantee it a stable intrinsic value over time. The issuer or the concerned mechanism may also decide whether or not to grant a right to reimbursement, total or partial.
