$BTC
Bitcoin ($BTC) is the world's first and most valuable cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on a decentralized blockchain, it enables peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million coins, enhancing its scarcity and value proposition. Often referred to as “digital gold,” it is widely used as a store of value, investment asset, and hedge against inflation. BTC’s price is highly volatile and influenced by macroeconomic factors, institutional adoption, and regulatory developments. As of now, it remains the leading cryptocurrency in market capitalization and global recognition.
