When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

Stablecoins have become one of the most widely used and important innovations in the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. They power global payments, support trillions in trading volume, provide stability in the highly volatile crypto markets, and act as foundational building blocks in decentralized finance (DeFi). Yet many people still lack a clear understanding of what stablecoins really are, how they work, and what risks they carry.

This course provides a comprehensive and beginner-friendly introduction to stablecoins. You will learn the core concepts behind price stability, how pegging mechanisms operate, and why different stablecoins behave differently under market stress. We will explore the major types of stablecoins, including fiat-backed stablecoins, crypto-collateralized stablecoins, and algorithmic stablecoins, using real examples such as USDT, USDC, DAI, FRAX, and others. You will see how each model attempts to maintain stability, what collateral structures support them, and why some designs are considered more reliable than others. Beyond the technical mechanisms, the course explains the practical benefits that have led to rapid global adoption. You will learn how stablecoins are used for international payments, trading, yield generation, remittances, and everyday transactions. You will also understand why traders rely on stablecoins as safe havens during high volatility and how stablecoins enable deeper liquidity in crypto markets. Just as importantly, the course covers the risks that every user should understand. We will discuss reserve transparency, regulatory considerations, depegging events, smart contract vulnerabilities, liquidity issues, and the specific weaknesses that caused several well-known algorithmic stablecoins to fail. By the end of the course, you will know how to evaluate stability, read transparency reports, identify warning signs, and choose stablecoins that match your goals and risk tolerance. No prior crypto experience is required. The course is designed to give beginners a clear, structured foundation so they can navigate stablecoins with confidence and make informed decisions in both personal and professional contexts.
