Definition ∞ Cryptocurrency transactions are transfers of digital assets between distinct addresses on a blockchain network. These operations are secured cryptographically and permanently recorded on a distributed ledger. Each transaction typically specifies a sender, a recipient, an amount, and an associated network fee.
Context ∞ News reports on digital assets frequently analyze the volume, speed, and cost of cryptocurrency transactions, often highlighting network capacity or congestion challenges. Global regulatory bodies are increasingly monitoring these transactions to ensure adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) standards. The development of layer-2 scaling solutions aims to significantly increase transaction throughput and decrease execution expenses.
