There are three main types of stablecoins:

• Fiat-backed stablecoins (or “fiat-collateralized” stablecoins): backed by fiat collateral, often a reserve or liquid collateral.
• Over-collateralized stablecoins (or “anchored” stablecoins): often backed by a basket of currencies, which may or may not include other stablecoins or cryptocurrencies.
