Stablecoins, RWA & Tokenization
What is a stablecoin swap?
A stablecoin swap is moving value from one stablecoin or crypto asset directly into another, such as repositioning USDT into a different token, without first cashing out to currency. Platforms and protocols use swaps internally to reposition holdings in a few steps while staying inside the crypto system. Within a rules-based index, this is how a methodology can shift weight between assets and a stable reserve at rebalance time. Swaps are subject to market prices and fees, and crypto values move continuously. You can read a QSI index methodology to see how the stable reserve is used.
Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
