What Are Stablecoins? The Key to Stability and Real-World Use in Crypto

The world of digital assets has expanded rapidly, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to thousands of new tokens and blockchain applications. Yet, for many investors, price volatility remains a major obstacle. It’s difficult to treat something as money when its price can change dramatically from one day to the next. That’s where stablecoins come in. They combine the speed and efficiency of blockchain technology with the stability of traditional currencies like the US dollar or euro. In short, stablecoins are digital dollars for the crypto economy, designed to hold steady in value while unlocking the advantages of a global, always-on financial system.

Virtune’s 100% Physically-Backed ETPs, Powered by Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve

All Virtune exchange traded products (ETPs) are 100% physically backed, which means that every ETP is fully backed by the underlying crypto assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, where the equivalent amounts in crypto assets are held securely in cold storage (offline) with a trusted custodian, in this case Coinbase. This ensures that each share of an ETP is directly tied to real, existing crypto assets. There are no synthetic, leveraged, or paper-based exposures, just authentic and verifiable holdings. This approach gives investors peace of mind, knowing their investments are based on something tangible and fully accounted for and secured.
