Stablecoin

A **stablecoin** is a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to a reserve asset, such as a fiat currency (like the US dollar), a commodity (like gold), or through algorithmic mechanisms. The goal of a stablecoin is to reduce the price volatility typically associated with other cryptocurrencies, making it more suitable for everyday transactions and as a store of value.
