What is a stablecoin?

It is a digital asset designed to maintain a constant value.

Unlike other cryptocurrencies, its price is linked to a traditional currency, such as the U.S. dollar. That’s why it usually maintains a close 1:1 relationship with the USD.

In practice, this means you can use them like digital dollars: store value, send payments, or receive money without being exposed to the typical volatility of the crypto market.

In summary, a stablecoin combines the stability of traditional money with the flexibility of blockchain technology.
