1. What’s a Stablecoin?
A stablecoin is a digital dollar (or euro, or peso) that lives on a blockchain but keeps the same buying power as the real-world money it’s linked to. One stablecoin = one unit of its backing currency—no wild price swings like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
Think of it as mobile-money for the internet:
Regular cash app | Stablecoin |
Stored in a bank | Stored on a blockchain |
Transfers during banking hours | Transfers 24/7, worldwide |
Local currency only | Works anywhere the dollar is accepted |
