Stablecoin Fundamentals

About Course
Stablecoins have emerged as a vital bridge between the volatile world of cryptocurrencies and the stability of traditional financial systems. Designed to maintain a consistent value, often pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, stablecoins enable secure and efficient transactions without the dramatic price fluctuations seen in assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum. As digital assets grow in importance globally, stablecoins are becoming indispensable tools for payments, savings, and decentralized finance (DeFi), offering a reliable alternative to traditional banking.
This course explores the origins, types, and applications of stablecoins, breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable ideas. Whether you are new to blockchain technology or seeking to deepen your understanding, this course provides the foundational knowledge necessary to navigate the growing stablecoin ecosystem confidently.
