Introducing stablecoins as a major currency in countries experiencing economic instability is an interesting idea that has both potential benefits and challenges. I don't really know if this would be a good idea but I think this could help many countries that are facing a real currency depreciation.
This are some of the benefits I think I could bring
Stability: Stablecoins are designed to be less volatile than traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. This stability could provide a more reliable medium of exchange and store of value, especially in economies with rapidly depreciating currencies.
Inflation Control: Stablecoins are typically pegged to a stable asset like a fiat currency or commodity, which could help countries better control inflation and manage their monetary policy especially in African countries.
Financial Inclusion: Stablecoins could increase financial inclusion by providing access to digital financial services for individuals who are unbanked or underbanked.
Reduced Transaction Costs: Digital transactions using stablecoins can potentially be more efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional payment systems, especially for cross-border transactions.

Economic depreciation has nothing to do with currency at all, because economic depreciation means the wear and tear of an asset beyond its expected capacity or utility. So it's related to the assets of an economy, not the currency. And the causes of the depreciation are wear and tear on an asset, perishability, economic advancement, expiration of dates, etc.Even if you meant depreciation of currency, stable coins are not changing their value; they carry the same value as the fiat currency. Then how can you expect stable coins to save you from the depreciation of currency?So the depreciation of currency and the economy is a natural economic phenomenon, but when it crosses the line, the government and other parties are taking care of it.
