A dollar-pegged token is a type of stablecoin whose value is designed to remain consistently equivalent to the United States dollar. These tokens typically maintain their peg through reserves of fiat currency, other cryptocurrencies, or algorithmic mechanisms. They offer the stability of the dollar combined with the transferability and efficiency of blockchain technology. Such tokens are widely used for trading, lending, and payments in the digital asset ecosystem.
