Welcome to the world of Stablecoins!

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are created to minimize price volatility in cryptocurrency markets. Stablecoins are linked to some real asset such as fiat currencies (US dollars, euros, etc.) or precious metals such as gold.

Stablecoins can be issued in a variety of ways, but the most common way is a mechanism that links the price of the cryptocurrency to the price of fiat currency in a certain ratio. For example, the USDT (Tether) stablecoin is tied to the price of the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio.

What are the advantages of stablecoins?

Here are some of them:

  • Low volatility. This is due to the fact that stablecoins are backed by real assets such as fiat currencies, gold, oil, etc. and means that the price of a stablecoin will not be subject to large fluctuations as is the case with other cryptocurrencies.

  • High speed of transactions. The transfer of stablecoins over the blockchain is very fast and low cost. This makes stablecoins ideal for transferring money, especially when traditional transfer methods become unavailable or too expensive.

  • Liquidity. Due to the fact that stablecoins are backed by real assets, they are highly liquid. This means that users can easily buy and sell stablecoins on cryptocurrency exchanges.

  • Security. Generally, stablecoins are backed by real assets. This means that they have a high level of security and the risks of losing money are minimal. The use of stablecoins can be a useful tool for risk diversification and capital protection in the cryptocurrency market.

  • Compatibility with cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins can be used as a “stable coin” when trading cryptocurrencies. This allows users to reduce risks from strong fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency.
