  A pegged cryptocurrency maintains its value by being tied to a stable asset, such as a fiat currency or a commodity. This means that for every unit of the pegged cryptocurrency, there is a corresponding unit of the stable asset held in reserve. This ensures that the value of the pegged cryptocurrency remains stable and consistent with the value of the underlying asset. For example, if the pegged cryptocurrency is pegged to the US dollar, then for every unit of the pegged cryptocurrency in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve. This allows users to have confidence in the value of the pegged cryptocurrency, as they know that it is backed by a stable asset.

  Maintaining the value of a pegged cryptocurrency is achieved through a combination of market mechanisms and reserve management. Market mechanisms involve the use of arbitrage to ensure that the price of the pegged cryptocurrency remains in line with the value of the underlying asset. If the price of the pegged cryptocurrency deviates from the value of the underlying asset, arbitrageurs can buy or sell the pegged cryptocurrency to bring the price back in line. Reserve management involves carefully managing the reserves of the stable asset that back the pegged cryptocurrency. This includes ensuring that the reserves are sufficient to meet any potential redemptions and managing any fluctuations in the value of the underlying asset.
