Cryptocurrency is a digital payment system that does not involve banks, providing peer-to-peer access to send and receive payments anywhere in the world.
Cryptocurrency payments are made online, without the use of physical money, and are recorded in a public registry, with the currency itself stored in digital wallets.
Cryptocurrencies use cryptography for secure transactions and store records in a distributed ledger (blockchain) for transparency and updates by currency holders.

In more liquid markets, traders can easily enter and exit positions, have tighter spreads and less influence on price
