Could you elaborate on the viability of stablecoins as an alternative to traditional cryptocurrencies? Are they able to provide similar benefits such as decentralized transactions and anonymity, while maintaining stability through pegging to fiat currencies or other assets? How do they compare in terms of liquidity, scalability, and transaction costs? Additionally, what are the potential risks and challenges associated with using stablecoins, and how do they differ from the volatility issues commonly seen in cryptocurrencies? Lastly, how do investors and financial institutions view the potential role of stablecoins in the future of digital finance?
