Cryptocurrency

    Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that circulates on the internet as a medium of exchange. It employs blockchain technology—a distributed ledger of transactions that is publicly available—and is secured by advanced cryptography. Even in the absence of a centralized intermediary, this revolutionary asset architecture ensures that cryptocurrency coins and tokens cannot be double-spent. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to achieve mainstream success, paving the way for the proliferation of many other cryptocurrencies.
