Definition:

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that use an online ledger with strong cryptography to secure online transactions. Generally, cryptocurrencies are decentralized networks based on blockchain technology – a distributed ledger technology that autonomously records peer-to-peer transactions across decentralized computers without a central authority. Cryptocurrencies are predominantly traded and exchanged cryptocurrency exchanges, neobrokers, and neobanks.

Cryptocurrency networks, cryptocurrency exchanges, neobrokers, and neobanks require digital onboarding of their clients and do not have physical branches to provide consultations and services to their customers. Nevertheless, it is not mandatory for their potential clients to have a smartphone to open an account. The above-mentioned financial entities usually charge a fee for their services, and, given the nature of cryptocurrency trading activities, these platforms can be accessed either via a mobile app or via a desktop website.

Currently, the cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a period of volatility, with fluctuations in the value of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. The market has also seen a rise in the number of altcoins, or alternative cryptocurrencies, with unique features and use cases.
Several growth factors are driving the growth of the cryptocurrency market, including increasing acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrencies by individuals and institutions, growing interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, and the potential for cryptocurrencies to serve as a hedge against inflation and political instability. Additionally, advancements in blockchain technology and the increasing use of cryptocurrencies for cross-border transactions are also contributing to market growth.
The cryptocurrency market is expected to continue growing in the coming years. The increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by businesses and individuals, along with the ongoing development of DeFi and other blockchain-based platforms, is likely to fuel this growth. However, the market is also likely to experience volatility and corrections, as is typical with any emerging and rapidly evolving market.
