What Are Stablecoins?
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value by pegging their price to a reserve asset, typically the US dollar. They bridge the gap between traditional finance and the crypto world.

Types of Stablecoins
- Fiat-Collateralized: Backed 1:1 by fiat currency reserves (e.g., USDT, USDC). The issuer holds dollars in a bank account for every stablecoin in circulation.
- Crypto-Collateralized: Backed by other cryptocurrencies, usually over-collateralized (e.g., DAI). Smart contracts manage the collateral.
- Algorithmic: Use algorithms and smart contracts to maintain the peg by adjusting supply. These carry higher risk as seen with the UST/Luna collapse.

Why Stablecoins Matter
- Enable trading without converting back to fiat
- Provide a safe haven during market volatility
- Power DeFi protocols for lending and borrowing
- Facilitate faster and cheaper cross-border payments
