Stablecoins — 81 coins

Stablecoins are the plumbing of crypto. They are tokens engineered to hold a fixed value — almost always one US dollar, sometimes a euro or an ounce of gold — so traders can move in and out of volatility without touching a bank. The category splits into two broad designs: fiat-backed coins that hold cash and short-term treasuries in reserve, and crypto-collateralized or algorithmic coins that defend their peg with on-chain collateral and incentives.

Because the whole point of a stablecoin is that it does not move, the interesting questions are not about price but about trust: is the peg actually holding right now, what backs it, who can freeze it, and how has it behaved during past stress? Those are the questions our individual stablecoin pages are built to answer. The 81 stablecoins below are sorted by market cap — the dollar giants that settle most of crypto's volume sit at the top, followed by euro pegs, commodity-backed tokens and the experimental designs further down.
