What is Crypto?
Understanding cryptocurrency doesn't have to be complicated. Let's break it down into simple concepts.
What is Cryptocurrency?
A revolutionary asset class that uses military grade cryptography for security. They can be used to store value, transact and buy and sell goods and services.
Digital Wallets
Secure digital vaults that allow you to store, send and receive payments. Think of crypto wallets as your own sovereign digital bank account for crypto.

Crypto allows direct transactions between users without intermediaries. P2P (peer-to-peer) trading allows for more control and maximum privacy.
