What Is Stablecoin?
Stablecoin is a digital currency and it is quite different from other cryptocurrencies. 
It is a new class of virtual currency. The main goal of stablecoin is to reduce price 
volatility through several approaches such as connecting price to commodities and 
fiat currencies. Most of the stablecoin currencies are fixed at ratio 1:1. Stablecoin 
virtual currency holds the advantages of cryptos such as wallets, security, 
transparency, quick transactions, privacy, immutability, and much more. A

Categories of Stablecoin cryptocurrency
There are four major types of Stablecoin. These types are listed as below

3.  Non-Collateralized: 
As the name indicates, these types of stablecoins are not backed by any assets. 
The non-collateralized stablecoins utilized an algorithm approach to manage the 
supply of stablecoin. This process is called as seigniorage shares. This is one of 
the most independent and decentralized classes of stablecoin virtual currency. 
However, this type requires a constant amount of growth to be successful in the 
market. Basis is one of the examples of non-collateralized stablecoin with an 
algorithm central bank.

everything is managed on blockchain technology. These are decentralized 
stablecoins that permit every process to be even more transparent and  secure. In 
crypto collateralized stablecoin, there is no one to control and manage your funds.
