An asset peg refers to a mechanism that fixes the value of one digital asset to another asset, often a fiat currency or a commodity. This mechanism aims to provide price stability for the pegged asset. Stablecoins are prime examples, maintaining their value relative to a reference asset through various collateralization or algorithmic methods. The integrity of an asset peg is crucial for its utility in digital transactions and decentralized finance.

Debates continue regarding the transparency and robustness of collateral reserves supporting these pegs.
