What are Stablecoins?

Stablecoins are decentralized tokens which hold a stable value, usually tied to a traditional FIAT currency like the USD. These currencies are less volatile and not as subject to the speculations of the cryptocurrency markets. Dai and USDC are both pegged to the value of the USD.
