💵 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.
