US Capital Private Bank – Digital Assets & Innovation Knowledge Base
🔍 What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that uses cryptographic technology to secure transactions and operate independently of a central bank or traditional financial institution. Unlike fiat currencies (e.g., USD, EUR), cryptocurrencies are not backed by physical assets or sovereign guarantees. Instead, they are decentralized and typically run on blockchain networks—distributed digital ledgers that record and verify transactions transparently and immutably.
🔐 Key Characteristics
-
Decentralized: No central authority controls issuance or regulation
-
Peer-to-Peer: Users transact directly without intermediaries or brokers
-
Encrypted: Transactions are verified through cryptographic algorithms
-
Transparent: Transactions are recorded on public or private blockchains
-
Limited Supply (for many): Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have fixed maximum supplies
