How to choose stablecoins? Beginners can't go wrong by following these steps. USDT, USDC, BUSD are recognized mainstream compliant stablecoins, all anchored to the US dollar, with strong market liquidity, making trading convenient on major exchanges. Never take risks with niche algorithmic stablecoins, as these products are prone to de-pegging risks, and if problems occur, the losses can be severe.

If you're building a crypto asset portfolio, these three stablecoins are the top choices for long positions or risk hedging. Mainstream tokens like BTC, ETH, SOL, combined with stablecoins in trading, can help you manage your positions more flexibly. Remember one principle: only focus on compliant, highly liquid assets as a beginner.

USDC-0,08%

BTC1,82%

Honestly, USDT is enough, choosing others is just a waste of time.

Stablecoins are really about liquidity first. USDT has an enormous market cap, USDC is highly compliant, and BUSD, although somewhat controversial, is still okay— but if you really want to use these three for position management, you need to first understand the depth differences across different chains; you can't generalize. I really don't like algorithmic stablecoins; the cost of de-pegging is too high, and it's just a matter of harvesting some retail investors. There's no sustainable economic incentive behind them.

Damn, I still have to hold USDT, liquidity is really solid.

Damn, another person advising to play with stablecoins, and indeed, that's correct. --- USDT has the strongest liquidity, that's true, but the fees are also really high. --- Algorithmic stablecoins are indeed a trap; isn't Luna's lesson enough? --- Newbies should honestly choose one and stick with it, don't mess around. --- Using stablecoins paired with BTC for hedging, I've been using this trick for a long time. --- USDC being compliant is compliant, but it's a bit expensive, and the trading pairs are not as many as USDT. --- What you're saying is correct, but few people can really stick to it. --- With compliance and liquidity as two conditions, you can filter out eighty percent of the coins. --- It sounds good, but in reality, it still depends on what the exchange supports and uses. --- De-anchoring risk is indeed terrifying; I've seen too many liquidations.

actually, the liquidity depth on USDT pairs across CEX vs DEX is what really matters here. USDC got that regulatory tailwind, sure, but have you stress-tested your slippage on 7-figure swaps? basis points add up quick.

Honestly, USDT has been the most stable and has unbeatable liquidity after all these years.
