Digital Currency

Digital currency refers to a form of currency that is available only in digital or electronic form, rather than in physical form such as banknotes or coins. It can be used for electronic transactions and is often secured by cryptographic technologies. Digital currencies can be classified into several categories, including cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which use decentralized networks based on blockchain technology), central bank digital currencies (CBDCs, which are issued and regulated by a country’s central bank), and other digital assets that may not necessarily be decentralized. Digital currencies facilitate online payments, enhance financial inclusion, and promote faster and more efficient transactions across borders. They may operate independently of traditional banking systems and can offer benefits such as lower transaction fees and enhanced privacy. As digital currencies continue to evolve, they have the potential to reshape the financial landscape and the way individuals and businesses conduct transactions.
