#CEXvsDEX101 Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments, cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks, typically using blockchain technology. This decentralized nature means that cryptocurrencies are not controlled by a single entity, such as a central bank, but are distributed across a network of computers. Cryptocurrencies use cryptography to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. This technology makes it difficult to counterfeit or double-spend. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009. Since then, thousands of other cryptocurrencies, often called "altcoins," have been created. Cryptocurrencies are used for various purposes, including online transactions, investments, and as a store of value. However, their value can be highly volatile, and they are subject to regulatory uncertainty.#TradingTypes101 $CRV $BTC $ETH
