A Fiat Backed Asset is a digital asset whose value is directly supported by an equivalent amount of traditional fiat currency held in reserve. These assets aim to replicate the stability of national currencies within the digital asset space. They provide a reliable bridge between conventional financial systems and decentralized networks. The reserves are typically held by a centralized entity and are subject to audits to confirm their existence.
Context

Key discussions revolve around the transparency and auditability of their reserves, as well as the legal frameworks governing their issuance and redemption. Regulatory bodies globally are considering specific rules for these assets, which will significantly influence their acceptance and integration into mainstream finance.
