Stablecoins coins: are they halal?

What is Stablecoins?

Stablecoins are tokens designed to maintain a stable value, typically pegged to a fiat currency and backed by a reserve of assets.

How CryptoUmmah screens Stablecoins coins

Gharar is the dominant concern, centered specifically on reserve backing and custody quality — a stablecoin's entire value proposition rests on a verifiable, audited claim that reserves genuinely match circulating supply, and opacity here is a serious structural weakness rather than a minor detail. Our audit quality and asset backing criteria carry the most weight for this category. Riba becomes a direct concern specifically where reserves are held in interest-bearing instruments (such as government treasury bills) and that yield is passed through to holders, which requires purification even when the stablecoin itself is otherwise sound. Across the 183 Stablecoins coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 52.6/100, with 8% classified Halal, 46% Mashbooh, and 46% Haram.
