How Do Stablecoin Pools Minimize the Risk of Impermanent Loss?

Stablecoin pools, which contain assets pegged to the same value (e.g. USD), use a different AMM curve that is optimized for assets that should trade near a 1:1 ratio.

Because the price ratio between the two stablecoins is expected to remain constant, the risk of divergence that causes impermanent loss is significantly reduced. This makes them highly capital efficient.
