metaratesStablecoin
A cryptocurrency that aims to keep a stable price, usually pegged to the dollar or another currency.
In practice
Stablecoins (USDT, USDC) are less volatile than bitcoin, so they are used for settlements and holding value between trades. The peg is not guaranteed: check the issuer and the risks.
