Stablecoin
A cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value, typically pegged 1:1 to a fiat currency like the US dollar. Popular stablecoins in crypto poker include USDT (Tether) and USDC. Stablecoins eliminate the volatility risk of playing with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, meaning your poker bankroll value does not fluctuate with market movements.
Example
You deposit 500 USDT to a poker room. Unlike Bitcoin, the value stays pegged to $1, so your bankroll is worth exactly $500 whether you play today or next week.
