Definition
Market intelligence means making decisions with data, context, and risk rules. Not with hype or fear.
What stablecoins are
Stablecoins are tokens designed to track a reference value such as 1 USD. People use them to move value quickly, trade pairs, and park funds between trades.
Onramps and offramps
An onramp is how you convert fiat to crypto. An offramp is how you convert crypto back to fiat. Fees, settlement times, and limits vary widely.
