Stablecoins have become a core of cryptocurrency market since they do not have the problem of volatility, which is typical for such cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Such digital assets are backed by real and physical forms of assets such as the US dollar or gold and therefore have a set value. Because of this stability they are well suited for long term investments and trading as compared to other crypto currencies which are very volatile in nature.

Stable coins enhance smoother transactions, and act as a link between the conventional and crypto markets. They are frequently integrated into decentralized finance (DeFi) applications for deposits and borrowing as well as earning returns. Also, stablecoins make cross-border payment quicker and cheaper than the conventional methods, thus reducing the dependency on the banking system.

Stablecoins as a category are not without their flaws and regulation is a common concern because the authorities want to make sure that the stablecoins have adequate collateral and are used appropriately. In the future, with the development of the crypto world, stablecoins will become even more significant in building a connection between crypto and conventional currencies.
