A course that makes stablecoins make sense.

Why this program exists

Most explanations reduce stablecoins to “crypto dollars” and stop there. That misses the point. Stablecoins are the 24/7 bridge between banks and blockchains — they move value instantly, plug into apps and smart contracts, and now power a huge share of day-to-day crypto activity. This program exists to replace hype and jargon with clear understanding so you can explain stablecoins simply and evaluate them rationally.

What you’ll learn

• What a stablecoin actually is — the peg, how value is kept at $1, and why that promise matters.
• The three core models — fiat-backed, crypto-backed, algorithmic/hybrid — how each works, where they’re strong, and where they break.
• How to spot good design vs. fragile design — practical red-flags and green-flags you can use immediately.
• Real-world use cases — trading liquidity, DeFi, remittances, inflation protection, and on-chain payments.
• Risks & regulation (balanced view) — what can go wrong, why confidence and reserves matter, and how policy trends may shape the space.
• The bigger picture — how stablecoins relate to CBDCs and tokenized assets over the next decade.

Program structure

• Episode 1 — What Stablecoins Are (and Why They Exist)
  Clear definitions, why banks and blockchains don’t “talk,” and the problem stablecoins solve (speed, access, global reach, programmability).
• Episode 2 — How Stablecoins Work (and the Different Models)
  A side-by-side tour of fiat-backed, crypto-backed, and algorithmic/hybrid designs: how the peg is held, where stress shows up, and lessons from past failures.
• Episode 3 — Stablecoins in the Bigger Picture
  Where they’re used today, key risks and regulatory debates, and how they may coexist with CBDCs and tokenized assets going forward.

“By the end, you’ll be able to explain stablecoins clearly and know where they fit in the bigger picture of crypto and finance.” — Stablecoin Blueprint
