Is there any technological rise in cryptocurrency in recent times ?

The most well-known blockchain application is cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are examples of digital currencies (or tokens) that can be used to purchase goods and services. Crypto, which works similarly to digital money, may be used to purchase everything from lunch to your next home. It has no intrinsic value, no physical form, and the bank has no control over how much of it is produced. There are around 6,700 cryptocurrencies in circulation around the world, with a total market capitalization of $1.6 trillion, with Bitcoin accounting for the majority of the value.

These tokens have grown in popularity in recent years, with one Bitcoin being worth $60,000. Because each bitcoin has its own unique identification number that is connected to one owner, the security of blockchain makes fraud much more difficult.

Crypto eliminates the need for distinct currencies and central banks because it can be sent to anybody, anywhere in the world, via blockchain without the need for a currency exchange or a financial institution.
