Digital Cash Equivalents are digital assets designed to maintain a stable value, typically pegged to fiat currencies or other stable assets, providing a digital representation of traditional money. These assets offer a stable medium of exchange within the volatile cryptocurrency markets. They serve as a reliable store of value and a unit of account for various decentralized finance applications. Their stability contrasts sharply with the price fluctuations of other digital currencies.
