Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are virtual currencies traded peer-to-peer on a blockchain, operating independently of centralized authorities such as banks or governments. Being entirely digital, cryptocurrencies are not backed by physical assets and lack intrinsic value.

Stock markets, on the other hand, are platforms where stocks are bought and sold, allowing buyers and sellers to agree on prices. Traditionally, stock exchanges operated in physical locations with transactions occurring on trading floors. For instance, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) is one of the most renowned stock markets globally. However, with technological advancements, stock markets have evolved into virtual exchanges, consisting of extensive computer networks where all trades are conducted electronically.

How Do Cryptocurrencies Work?

Cryptocurrencies primarily utilize blockchain technology to process transactions through a sophisticated peer-to-peer network. When a transfer request is initiated, it is validated by the network and grouped with other transactions to form a data block for the ledger. This block is then added to the existing blockchain. Once the block is successfully integrated into the chain, the transaction is confirmed and completed.
