Digital Currencies versus Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies are types of digital currency

However, digital currencies also include stable coins, which are less volatile as they are linked to the value of an existing currency or commodity. For example, Tether is an independent stable coin which attempts a US dollar peg. Indeed, many countries’ central banks are looking into launching stable coins. Purchasing stable coins can be considered as a way to invest in cryptocurrencies oriented at minimizing the associated volatility.
