Cryptocurrency Markets

Definition

Cryptocurrency markets are decentralized digital marketplaces where participants buy, sell, and trade various digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Unlike traditional financial markets, these operate continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, globally. Prices are determined by supply and demand dynamics, often exhibiting high volatility due to rapid shifts in sentiment and news. These markets facilitate the exchange of value without reliance on central authorities.
