What is a stablecoin?

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency backed by a fiat currency like the euro or the dollar, guaranteeing a stable value through reserves replicating the issued currency. For example, USDC is issued by Circle and Coinbase , maintained at a 1:1 parity with the dollar via transparent and audited reserves. Meanwhile, EURC is a European alternative suitable for payments in euros.
