What are cryptocurrencies?

A digital alternative

Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are not centralised – meaning there is no central bank to control price and supply.

Breakthrough blockchain tech

Most cryptos are based on blockchain technology, allowing instant transactions without the need for a third party.

A finite resource

Created and held electronically, cryptocurrencies are produced by a process known as mining – and there’s a limited supply.

An emerging, exciting market

Since Bitcoin was launched in 2009, the crypto market is now worth around over $230 billion.
