💵 What Are Stablecoins & Why Do They Matter in Crypto? 📊
If crypto is a rollercoaster 🎢, then stablecoins are your seatbelt.
Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 What is a stablecoin?
A digital asset pegged to a stable value — usually $1 USD. Examples: USDT, BUSD, USDC.
🔹 Why use them?
✔️ Reduce volatility
✔️ Easily switch in/out of trades
✔️ Ideal for storing profits
✔️ Used widely in DeFi, lending, and cross-border payments
🔹 Are all stablecoins the same?
Not quite!
Fiat-backed (e.g., USDT, USDC): Backed 1:1 by reserves
Crypto-backed (e.g., DAI): Backed by overcollateralized crypto
Algorithmic: Use smart contracts to maintain their peg (higher risk!)
🔐 Pro Tip: When markets are shaky, keeping a portion of your portfolio in stablecoins can give you flexibility and peace of mind.
