Stablecoin Beginner
A stablecoin is a crypto token built to hold a steady value, most often pegged to the US dollar.
Tokens like USDT and USDC aim to sit at about $1 and are used heavily for trading, payments and shifting value between exchanges. How safely they hold that peg depends on their backing — cash and equivalents, other crypto, or an algorithm — each with different risks.
This definition is educational and not financial advice. Crypto is volatile and high-risk — always do your own research.
