Understand stablecoins in plain English — what they are, how they work, and why they matter.
Why this program exists
Most people think stablecoins are just “crypto dollars.” That misses the point. Stablecoins are always-on digital money that move across blockchains in seconds and power most of crypto’s real activity — trading, DeFi, payments, and remittances. This program gives you a calm, clear explanation without jargon or hype.
What you’ll learn inside
- What stablecoins are (and why they exist): the peg, reserves, and why banks’ limited hours created the need.
- The three models: fiat-backed, crypto-backed, and algorithmic — how each holds $1 and where they break.
- Risk spotting: collapses in the headlines, transparency vs. trust, counterparty and regulatory risk.
- The bigger picture: stablecoins in DeFi, payments and remittances, plus how they may sit alongside CBDCs and tokenised assets.
