Explained Simply
Stablecoins aim to combine crypto's benefits (fast transfers, programmability) with price stability. USDC and USDT are backed by real US dollar reserves. DAI is algorithmically stabilized. Stablecoins are widely used for trading, DeFi, and transferring value without volatility risk. However, they carry their own risks — regulatory uncertainty, reserve quality, and potential depegging events.
