Unlike traditional banking, there is no need for a central register &#8211; they are based on distributed ledger technology that enables transactions to be recorded securely by a network of computers.

By 2020, there were 5,600 different cryptocurrencies with an estimated global value of \u20ac250 billion (still a relatively small share of the value of all money). This generation of crypto-assets is generally not backed with assets that hold intrinsic value and their value is often quite volatile, which limits their practical use, turning them into a form of risky investment rather than a useful currency.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ep-wysiwig_heading-3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tokens and stablecoins<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tokens<\/strong>\u00a0are newer crypto-assets; they are a digital representation of interests or rights to certain assets.
