What is the purpose of stablecoins in the crypto ecosystem?
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar to reduce volatility.
Types:
Fiat-backed: USDT, USDC, backed by real USD reserves.
Algorithmic: TerraUSD (before its collapse), relying on algorithms to maintain price stability.
Use Cases: Stablecoins are used for payments, remittances, and as a safe haven during market downturns.
Stablecoins provide stability in the highly volatile crypto market.
