Overview
Costs & Margins
  • Bitcoin is the world’s most traded cryptocurrency – making up approximately 43% of crypto market volume. It’s commonly traded as a currency pair under the ticker Bitcoin ($), which represents how many US Dollars are needed to buy a single Bitcoin.

    Bitcoin was designed to facilitate peer-to-peer, decentralised transactions but it has since grown in popularity and is regarded by some as a store of value – despite being an incredibly volatile and largely unregulated market.

    Bitcoin has continued to dominate the crypto market, although we’re seeing competitors’ market shares grow, such as Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin.

What are cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are digital tokens based on blockchain technology that act as a virtual currency. Many cryptocurrencies are mined into existence through the ‘Proof of Work’ system, involving the solving of complicated mathematical puzzles by high-powered computing software, with a cryptocurrency token made available to the owner as a reward.

However, a newer system known as ‘Proof of Stake’ involves contributors staking their own cryptocurrency in exchange for a chance to validate new transactions, update the blockchain, and earn a reward. Ethereum, for example, is expected to move to the Proof of Stake model in 2022.

The majority of cryptocurrencies are decentralised, which means that they are not connected to or affected by an authority such as a government or central bank.
