Stablecoin

Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a relatively stable value by pegging to a reserve asset (often fiat currency such as the U.S. dollar) or by using algorithmic rules that adjust supply.

Example: On a crypto exchange, a trader transfers USD-pegged stablecoins such as USDC from one wallet to another to avoid exposure to price swings in other crypto assets.
