Stablecoin oversight involves the regulatory supervision and monitoring of stablecoins, which are digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a specified asset, typically a fiat currency. This oversight aims to ensure the stability, transparency, and integrity of these instruments. It is a critical component of maintaining confidence in the broader digital asset ecosystem.
