💡 Stablecoins: More Than Just Crypto Buzzwords
They’re not all the same and they’re not just for DeFi.
🟣 Fiat-backed stablecoins like USDC and USDT bring compliance and auditability to the blockchain.
🟢 Decentralized stablecoins like DAI and GHO rely on smart contracts and crypto collateral for stability.
But the real value? Use cases like:
- Cross-border payments without banks
- On-chain collateral and settlements
- Payroll, B2B payments, and corporate treasury
