Stablecoins

A fundamental asset for making easy payments on blockchains are stablecoins. Stablecoins are a representation of cash on a blockchain, with their value pinned to a specific national currency and backed by assets denominated in that currency. With stablecoins, you don't have to worry about the volatility of standard cryptocurrencies while still getting the other benefits of blockchain technology.
