Types of Stablecoins

Commodity-backed01

Commodity-backed stablecoins are collateralized in a similar way to fiat-backed stablecoins, but use physical assets like gold, silver, or oil as collateral instead.

Crypto-backed02

Another common form of stablecoins are those that use cryptocurrency as collateral. This process generally utilizes decentralized on-chain smart contracts rather than a central institution.

Algorithmic03

Algorithmic stablecoins are different from other stablecoins in that they (theoretically) do not need any form of collateral whatsoever. Instead, they make use of algorithms and purpose-built smart contracts to control the supply of stablecoins on the market and maintain a stable price.

Fiat-backed04

The most popular form of stablecoins are those backed 1:1 by a fiat currency. Some form of central institution will hold a reserve of fiat currency (generally USD) in off-chain accounts and then distribute on-chain stablecoins of proportionate amount and value.
