$BTC

$BTC (Bitcoin) is the first and most valuable cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology to enable secure, transparent transactions without intermediaries. Often called "digital gold," Bitcoin is a store of value and hedge against inflation. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins adds to its scarcity and appeal. $BTC plays a central role in the crypto market, influencing trends and sentiment. With increasing institutional adoption, integration into financial systems, and use in cross-border payments, Bitcoin continues to lead the way in the future of decentralized finance.
