Cryptocurrency, commonly referred to as “crypto,” is an unregulated virtual currency. Bitcoin was the first form of cryptocurrency and many other types followed it. Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, has been growing in popularity and just went public. Recently, the values of many cryptocurrencies have also increased, and Bitcoin hit an all-time high. Since cryptocurrencies have increased in popularity, banks, investors, and regulators have started to acknowledge cryptocurrencies. For example, PayPal now allows its users to purchase cryptocurrencies through their accounts. Similarly, Venmo will soon allow cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies are certainly complex, but they may become a part of ordinary life very soon!
