What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital money. The word “crypto” comes from the cryptographic techniques used to ensure that cryptocurrencies can be transacted securely. These techniques replace the need for a third party (such as a bank) to oversee transactions. Whereas traditional currencies are issued and regulated by a central authority, many cryptocurrencies rely instead on decentralized blockchain technology to review and approve transactions. You can learn more about the basics of crypto in our beginner’s guide to cryptocurrency.
What can I use cryptocurrency for?
Cryptocurrencies have many potential use cases—some already real, and some still a bit theoretical. Some people also buy cryptocurrencies to hold or sell later, in the hope that their value will increase over time.

Before trading crypto, you should know that many cryptocurrencies are subject to extreme fluctuations in value and carry the risk of total loss of value.
