$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH ETH) are the two leading cryptocurrencies, each with its own unique role. Bitcoin, created in 2009, is widely viewed as a store of value and a decentralized alternative to traditional money. With its fixed supply, Bitcoin has gained recognition as “digital gold,” often seen as a hedge against inflation. Ethereum, launched in 2015, takes a broader approach by enabling more than just currency. Its blockchain supports a variety of uses, from facilitating transactions to enabling more complex programs and financial systems. While Bitcoin remains focused on value transfer and security, Ethereum continues to push the boundaries of blockchain technology, both of which are driving the future of digital finance.
