There are many ways to create coins that track the price
or value of other assets, most of which use other assets
as collateral, so you need a pegging mechanism that
tracks the value of other assets, such as fiat currency-
based stablecoins, cryptocurrency-based stablecoins,
and algorithmic tablecoins.
Stablecoin is an integral part of the crypto ecosystem
and has enabled the birth of a new financial system,
but its risks should not be underestimated.
We’ve seen the Stablecoin project fail to maintain its
peg, run short of reserves, or get sued. So while
Stablecoin is a versatile tool, it is still a cryptocurrency and
carries similar risks.
Diversifying your portfolio can help reduce risk,
but you should only invest in an amount that you can
research and cover losses before investing or trading.
