Yield Stablecoin

Definition

A yield stablecoin is a digital asset designed to maintain a stable value while also generating returns. Unlike traditional stablecoins that primarily aim for price parity with a fiat currency, yield stablecoins are structured to accrue additional value through integrated lending protocols, staking mechanisms, or other decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies. This dual functionality seeks to offer both capital preservation and growth potential within the volatile cryptocurrency market. Their underlying collateral and yield generation methods vary, influencing their risk profiles and stability mechanisms.
