📚✨ What are stablecoins and why are they so important?
In the crypto world, volatility often takes center stage. However, stablecoins were created to provide stability: they are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a fixed value, usually tied to the dollar, the euro, or even gold. 🪙
Thanks to this characteristic, they are used as:
✅ A global payment method with fast and low-cost transactions.
✅ A tool for traders who want to protect their profits without leaving the crypto ecosystem.
✅ A bridge between the traditional financial system and blockchain.
There are different types:
Fiat-backed (e.g., USDT, USDC).
Crypto-backed (e.g., DAI).
Algorithmic, which use supply and demand mechanisms.
More and more governments are working on regulations to ensure transparency and trust. This means that stablecoins are not only useful but could also become the foundation of a new global financial infrastructure. 🌐🚀
