Stablecoin
A digital currency built to hold a steady value, usually tied to something like the dollar, so it does not swing in price the way other digital money can.
A stablecoin is a digital currency built to hold a steady value. Most are tied to something reliable like a dollar, so a stablecoin doesn't swing around in price the way other digital money can. That steadiness is the whole point. It makes a stablecoin simple to use for buying and selling.
How a stablecoin works
A stablecoin keeps its value steady by being backed by something. The most common kind is tied to a real currency like the U.S. dollar, so one coin is always worth about the same as one dollar. When you send or receive a stablecoin it moves from one account to another on a blockchain, which is a shared ledger that records every transaction. No bank sits in the middle. The money moves straight from buyer to seller.
The steady value is what makes it useful. You don't have to guess whether the money you just took in is worth the same amount tomorrow. You know what you're holding and you know what you can do with it.
Accepting stablecoins on your website
If you sell from your own website a stablecoin is just another way someone can pay you. Your own payment provider handles the payment and the money settles straight into an account you own. You get paid in a value you can count on and your buyer gets a way to pay that doesn't swing around.
If the payment provider you already use lets you take a stablecoin, Coin Moebius lets you offer it through one buy button alongside every other way you accept. You never have to choose between a stablecoin and the rest. Your buyer picks how they want to pay, and the money always settles into an account you own and control. We don't hold it and we don't take a cut of the sale. What happens next is yours to decide.

Coin Moebius is the part behind the button, so you do not have to build it.
