Stablecoins

Stablecoins are tokens designed to hold a constant value (usually $1) so they can serve as on-chain dollar-equivalents for trading and payments. Tokenpedia tracks 63 assets in this category.

Stablecoins solve the missing-dollar problem on a public blockchain. Three architectures dominate: fiat-backed (USDT, USDC, PYUSD, backed 1:1 by reserves at a regulated custodian), crypto-backed (DAI, mostly backed by USDC and ETH), and yield-bearing (USDe, sUSDS, designed to pass interest through to holders).

Stablecoins are by far the most-used product on every major chain. They settle most spot trading volume, most cross-border payment rails, and serve as the on-chain unit of account. The questions to ask about a stablecoin are reserve quality (cash and treasuries beat commercial paper), regulatory standing (PYUSD has a US license; Tether does not), and depegging risk under stress (UST collapsed in 2022; algorithmic models have struggled since).

Yield-bearing stablecoins are the fastest-growing sub-category since 2024, driven by demand for on-chain real-yield exposure that doesn't require active management.
