Fiat-pegged tokens are a type of digital asset designed to maintain a stable value relative to a specific fiat currency, such as the US dollar. These tokens achieve their stability through various mechanisms, including holding equivalent reserves of the underlying fiat currency or other assets. They serve as a bridge between traditional financial systems and the volatile digital asset markets.
