Introduction to Stablecoin Risk Management & Depeg Defense

Blockchain
DeFi

Stablecoins are a cornerstone of modern crypto ecosystems, offering price stability in volatile markets. But behind their apparent stability lies a complex system of technical, financial, and operational safeguards. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the risks stablecoins face, especially depegging, and how protocols, developers, and risk teams design systems to defend against them. From analyzing reserve structures to building automated alert systems, and from real-world incident responses to future-proofing strategies, this course equips learners with the knowledge to evaluate and contribute to resilient stablecoin ecosystems.

This course explores stablecoin risk from the ground up, focusing on depeg events and the mechanisms used to prevent, detect, and respond to them. Learners will progress through five structured modules covering stablecoin architectures, real-time monitoring systems, reserve transparency, market defense strategies, and incident governance. The curriculum combines theoretical foundations with practical frameworks used in leading protocols. It is designed for both beginners and professionals who want to deepen their understanding of risk design and defense in decentralized financial systems.
