## Stablecoin Type Classification

- **Fiat-backed**: Stablecoins pegged to a fiat currency and backed by fiat reserves (e.g., USDC, USDT, EURC)
- **Crypto-backed**: Stablecoins backed by cryptocurrency collateral (e.g., DAI)
- **Commodity-backed**: Stablecoins backed by physical commodities (e.g., gold-backed tokens)
- **Algorithmic**: Stablecoins that maintain their peg through algorithmic mechanisms rather than direct backing (e.g., the now-defunct TerraUSD / UST)

Most regulatory frameworks focus primarily on fiat-backed stablecoins. Algorithmic stablecoins are often explicitly prohibited or restricted.
