Fiat Conversion

Definition

Fiat conversion is the process of exchanging traditional government-issued currency, such as US dollars or euros, for digital assets, or vice versa. This operation serves as a crucial gateway between the conventional financial system and the cryptocurrency economy. It typically occurs on centralized exchanges, peer-to-peer platforms, or through specialized payment processors. The ability to seamlessly convert between fiat and crypto is essential for liquidity and accessibility within digital asset markets.
