What are Cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies represent one of the latest innovations of the financial world through which transactions are made without intermediaries, meaning that there is no intervention by a central authority or financial institution. We therefore refer to digital assets that are secured by cryptography and are distributed across a decentralised network.
Because of their virtual nature, cryptocurrencies are not backed by any real-world commodity or central bank. Instead, they rely on the law of supply and demand just like the value of a stock or currency does. Therefore, the price of cryptocurrencies fluctuates based on the number of people who want to buy or sell it at a given moment.
Cryptocurrencies are quoted in conventional currencies such as the US dollar.
