What is a stablecoin?

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency backed by a fiat currency such as the euro or the dollar, guaranteeing a stable value thanks to reserves that replicate the currency issued. For example, USDC is issued by Circle and Coinbase, maintained at 1:1 parity with the dollar through transparent and audited reserves. As for EURC, it is a European alternative adapted to payments in euros.
