Stablecoins
A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to have a stable value, typically by pegging it to a reserve asset like a fiat currency (e.g., USD, EUR) or a commodity (e.g., gold). Unlike other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which can experience significant price fluctuations, stablecoins aim to minimize volatility, making them more suitable for everyday transactions and as a store of value.
There are several types of stablecoins:
-
Fiat-Collateralized Stablecoins: These stablecoins are backed by a reserve of fiat currency, like USD, held in a bank account. For example, for every stablecoin in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of actual currency held in a bank. (USDT, USDC, TUSD,...)
-
Crypto-Collateralized Stablecoins: These stablecoins are backed by a reserve of other cryptocurrencies, often held in a smart contract. These might use algorithms and smart contracts to maintain stability. (DAI, FRAX, sUSD,...)
-
Commodity-Collateralized Stablecoins: These stablecoins are backed by a reserve of commodities like gold or other valuable assets. (AGX, AUX, ...)
Stablecoins have gained popularity in the cryptocurrency space because they can provide a level of price stability that is essential for various financial applications, such as trading, lending, and remittances, without entirely leaving the blockchain ecosystem. They offer a bridge between the traditional financial world and the decentralized world of cryptocurrencies.
