# Currency

## Currency

{% hint style="info" %}
Bloom lets you trade using stablecoins instead of native SOL. This feature is managed through the Currency setting and requires no extra steps during execution.

When a currency is selected, all trades are executed using that currency. Bloom automatically handles routing and execution. To trade with stablecoins, you must hold a balance in the selected currency and also keep some SOL available to cover tips and network fees.
