Abstract

Crypto assets are digital assets that can be used as a medium of exchange or for investment. Unlike traditional banking instruments, they do not require a central ledger, relying on distributed ledger technology that allows transactions to be securely recorded across a network of computers. At the same time, crypto assets are not private; they are not issued or guaranteed by a central bank or public authority. Cryptocurrencies are now used as a means of payment and are a full-fledged asset class in the portfolios of investors worldwide. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies are still considered among the most volatile and risky assets.
