Stablecoin

A crypto coin meant to stay worth one dollar, such as USDT or USDC. Its issuer can usually freeze it.

In plain words

Most crypto prices go up and down. Stablecoins are built to stay at about one US dollar each, backed by money and assets the issuer holds.

Why it matters if you've been scammed

The big stablecoins are run by companies that can block wallets. If your stolen money is still held as USDT or USDC, a freeze may be possible.
