stablecoin
Dollar-linked digital token
A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency designed to maintain a fixed value, typically pegged to a traditional currency like the US dollar.
Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which fluctuate wildly, stablecoins aim for price stability—useful for transactions, savings, or as a safe harbor during market volatility.
Most are backed by reserves of the pegged currency, though some use algorithmic mechanisms to maintain their peg.
