Reserve Diversification

Definition

Reserve diversification is the practice of holding various assets in a reserve to reduce risk. In the context of stablecoins or decentralized autonomous organizations, this involves backing a digital asset with a basket of cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, or other financial instruments. The aim is to mitigate the volatility associated with holding a single asset and to strengthen the peg of a stablecoin. It contributes to the long-term resilience and solvency of a protocol.
