What makes it different?
A blockchain can record and verify transfers among participants without relying on a single central record keeper. The asset, network rules, and ways people use it depend on the particular system. Some people use crypto assets for transfers; others buy them in hopes their price will change.
Owning a crypto asset does not guarantee a return. Prices can move sharply, and the protections available to a person can differ from those of a bank account or a traditional investment. Understanding what an asset actually does matters more than its label.
