A stablecoin targets a reference value
A target price is not an unconditional guarantee.
Investopedia distinguishes tokens supported by conventional reserves, crypto collateral and algorithmic mechanisms. Each seeks a relationship with an external reference, often a currency. Reserve quality, redemption terms and market confidence affect that relationship. Stablecoins are therefore different from both ordinary bank deposits and freely floating cryptocurrencies.
