Cross-sectional data on stablecoin characteristics

This cross-sectional dataset depicts the characteristics of stablecoins. Stablecoins are digital currencies that are designed to have a non-volatile value relative to other assets. They represent a relatively young but increasingly important branch of the cryptocurrency market. The dataset qualitatively and quantitatively describes several features for each stablecoin analysed, including information about the affiliation with any cryptocurrency exchange, presence on cryptocurrency exchanges, trading pairs, peg, availability of technical documentation on the stablecoin websites, age, market capitalisation, trading volume, type specified based on collateral and stabilisation mechanism. The dataset was compiled from websites of the stablecoin projects, a crypto-data aggregator, and other auxiliary sources. Each data item presented in this dataset is accompanied by a detailed source. The dataset includes 30 stablecoins that were listed by CoinMarketCap.com (as of 8 May 2022) and launched before 1 July 2021. These are: Tether, USD Coin, Binance USD, Terra USD, Dai, True USD, Pax Dollar, Neutrino USD, Frax, HUSD, Origin Dollar, Gemini Dollar, Stasis Euro, sUSD, Celo Dollar, Qcash, Vai, Steem Dollars, mStable USD, USDK, Rupiah Token, EOSDT, CryptoFranc, NuBits, Italian Lira, Fei, Liquity USD, XSGD, TerraKRW, Basis Cash. The dataset excludes stablecoins that has been suspended, or for which the project’s website was either not available or uninformative or a misclassification as stablecoin was identified. This dataset could be used by researchers, investors, or regulators for cross-sectional comparative studies on the stablecoin market, especially when investigating the relationship between cryptocurrency market developments and stablecoin characteristics.

本横截面数据集描绘了稳定币的特征。稳定币是一种设计有相对其他资产非波动价值的数字货币。它们构成了加密货币市场一个相对年轻但日益重要的分支。该数据集从定性和定量两个角度详细描述了每枚稳定币的多个特征，包括与任何加密货币交易所的关联信息、在加密货币交易所的存在情况、交易对、挂钩机制、稳定币网站上技术文档的可用性、年龄、市值、交易量以及基于抵押品和稳定机制的类型。数据集由稳定币项目的网站、加密数据聚合器和其它辅助来源编纂而成。本数据集中展示的每一条数据项均附有详细的来源信息。该数据集涵盖了CoinMarketCap.com（截至2022年5月8日）上列出的30枚稳定币，且这些稳定币均在2021年7月1日之前推出。具体包括：Tether、USD Coin、Binance USD、Terra USD、Dai、True USD、Pax Dollar、Neutrino USD、Frax、HUSD、Origin Dollar、Gemini Dollar、Stasis Euro、sUSD、Celo Dollar、Qcash、Vai、Steem Dollars、mStable USD、USDK、Rupiah Token、EOSDT、CryptoFranc、NuBits、意大利里拉、Fei、Liquity USD、XSGD、TerraKRW、Basis Cash。本数据集排除了已被暂停的稳定币，或项目网站不可用、信息不充分，或被错误分类为稳定币的情况。本数据集可供研究人员、投资者或监管机构用于对稳定币市场的横截面比较研究，特别是在探究加密货币市场的发展与稳定币特征之间的关系时尤为适用。
