Centralized stablecoins are digital currencies designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency, typically the US dollar, and are issued by a central entity. These assets are backed by reserves of traditional assets, such as fiat currency, government bonds, or commercial paper, held and managed by a specific company. The issuer is responsible for maintaining the peg and processing redemptions, providing a predictable digital asset for transactions and trading. Their value stability contrasts with the volatility of other cryptocurrencies.
