Stablecoin Collateralization

Definition

Stablecoin Collateralization refers to the process of backing a stablecoin with reserves of other assets to maintain its peg to a specific fiat currency or commodity. This backing can consist of fiat currency, cryptocurrencies, or real-world assets held in reserve. The purpose is to ensure that the stablecoin retains its intended value and can be redeemed at its pegged rate. Proper collateralization is vital for a stablecoin’s reliability.
