Cryptocurrency
A decentralized digital asset based on cryptography and blockchain technology, with Bitcoin as the primary example. It is characterized by pseudonymity, transaction irreversibility, and ease of cross-border transfer. It is widely used for investment and trading, and its limited regulatory oversight makes it a common vehicle for money laundering and fraud.
