A stable asset is a financial instrument designed to maintain a relatively consistent value, often pegged to a fiat currency, commodity, or algorithm. In the cryptocurrency space, stablecoins serve this purpose, aiming to mitigate the high volatility typically associated with other digital assets. They function as a medium of exchange and a store of value.
Context
Stable assets, particularly stablecoins, are increasingly viewed as a critical component of the digital asset ecosystem, facilitating trade and providing liquidity. Regulatory bodies worldwide are focusing on oversight for stablecoin issuers, addressing concerns about reserves, transparency, and systemic risk. The future development of central bank digital currencies may also impact the stable asset landscape.
