A cryptocurrency icon represents digital or virtual currencies that use cryptography for secure transactions. These currencies operate on decentralized networks, typically based on blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and immutability. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments, cryptocurrencies are not controlled by any central authority, making them resistant to censorship and manipulation. The icon symbolizes various popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others, often depicted by stylized letters, logos, or symbols associated with specific coins. It serves as a visual representation in digital wallets, exchanges, and apps related to cryptocurrency transactions, trading, and storage.
