**Algorithmic vs. Collateralized Stablecoins: Price Stability Comparison**
1. **Collateralized (e.g., USDT, USDC)**:
- Backed by reserves (cash, bonds, crypto), ensuring tight peg via redemption.
- Rarely depeg unless trust in reserves fails (e.g., USDC briefly to $0.99 during 2023 banking crisis).
2. **Algorithmic (e.g., UST, DAI*):**
- Relies on arbitrage/minting mechanisms (not 1:1 collateral), prone to death spirals under stress (e.g., UST’s collapse in 2022).
- DAI (hybrid model) maintains stability via overcollateralization + algo adjustments.
**Key Takeaway**: Collateralized stablecoins are more resilient; algo variants offer higher yields but carry systemic risks. (*Note: DAI is partially collateralized.) (140/140) 0 reply
