A stable coin fails when its underlying assets lose value. Underlying assets can vary and can be multiple in order to create value.
So say for example the dollar is backed by gold. If gold lost value and people panicked the dollar would loose value. But the dollar is no longer backed by gold, so it’s also a scam.
It’s not just a crypto thing.
