What is Stablecoin

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to something stable, most commonly the U.S. dollar. For example, one unit of a popular stablecoin like USDC or USDT is always meant to be worth about $1. These coins achieve stability by being backed by reserves (like dollars in a bank account or short-term U.S. government bonds) and by maintaining that peg through transparent issuance and redemption mechanisms.
