This section provides valuable insights into crypto assets and blockchain technology. Crypto assets, often referred to as cryptocurrencies or digital coins, are issued and transferred using blockchain or distributed ledger technology. Blockchain is a secure, decentralized database spread across a network of computers that records unchangeable transaction data. Some crypto assets are native to specific blockchains, while others can exist on multiple blockchains. Owners manage crypto assets using crypto wallets, which store public and private keys. The public key acts as a user's blockchain address, while the private key functions as a password to transfer assets. The security of these assets depends on the type of wallet, with "hot wallets" connected to the internet being more vulnerable to certain hacks than "cold wallets" disconnected from the internet. Understanding these fundamentals is crucial in the world of crypto trading.
