What are cryptocurrencies?
Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are not centralised – meaning there is no central bank to control price and supply.
Most cryptos are based on blockchain technology, allowing instant transactions without the need for a third party.
Created and held electronically, many leading cryptocurrencies are produced by a process known as mining – and several have a limited maximum supply.
Since Bitcoin was launched in 2009, the crypto market is now worth trillions of dollars.
