Why a balance in a volatile coin can change on its own.
If you hold your balance in a volatile coin (BTC, ETH), its dollar value moves with the market — even without betting. That means a win can "grow" or "shrink" due to price, adding a second layer of risk on top of the game itself. To remove this effect, many players keep their playing balance in a dollar-pegged stablecoin. That way the result depends only on play, not on market movement.
