A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency whose value is designed to remain stable over time, usually by being pegged to a currency such as the euro or the US dollar.
Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, whose prices can fluctuate significantly, a stablecoin aims to maintain a constant value — for example: 1 stablecoin = 1 euro.
In practical terms, it can be used to:
- hold funds in crypto without being exposed to market volatility;
- facilitate fast transactions available 24/7;
- act as a bridge between traditional money and digital assets.
Stablecoins now play a central role in the crypto ecosystem, particularly for securing gains, making transfers or managing liquidity.
