Frequently asked questions

What are stablecoins cryptocurrencies?+

They are stablecoins: coins designed to hold a peg to a fiat currency (usually the US dollar) — they aim to be stable, not to appreciate. It's a grouping for browsing this catalog, not an official classification — some projects could fit in more than one category.

How risky is this category?+

Stablecoins don't aim to appreciate: their risk is not volatility but issuer solvency and reserve quality (the "de-peg"). They are a tool within the ecosystem, not an investment.
