Asset Reserve Management involves the strategic oversight and safeguarding of assets held to back a stablecoin or other collateralized digital asset. This process ensures the stability and solvency of the digital asset by maintaining sufficient reserves. It includes managing the composition, custody, and auditing of these underlying assets.
