What is a stablecoin: understanding crypto's low-volatility assets
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) are volatile compared to the relatively stable prices of major fiat currencies such as the US dollar, or other assets like gold. Stablecoins are digital assets created to preserve consistent purchasing power, serving as valuable tools for cryptocurrency traders and individuals engaged in international transactions. These assets provide price stability, since they're pegged to a reserve asset — including the US dollar or gold. This peg lowers the volatility of the coins by offering a digital currency suitable for daily commerce and payments between exchanges.
