💵 Stablecoin: the bridge between fiat and crypto
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value, typically pegged to fiat currencies like the dollar (USD) or real (BRL).
📌 Example:
1 USDT (Tether) ≈ 1 Dollar
1 BRLx (Brazilian stablecoin) ≈ 1 Real
Why use stablecoins?
✅ Protection against volatility
✅ Ease of entering and exiting the crypto market
✅ Fast and cheap transfers
✅ Ideal for those who want to “store value” in the crypto world
Types of stablecoins:
🔹 Fiat-collateralized – maintain reserves in dollars or reais. E.g.: USDT, BRLx
🔹 Crypto-collateralized – like DAI, backed by Ethereum and other assets
🔹 Algorithmic – use algorithms to control the price (riskier)
Stablecoin is synonymous with stability with freedom, and they are essential for anyone who trades, invests, or just wants to navigate safely in the crypto world.
