What is digital currency?

It is a new type of currency with a high level of security , Because it is decentralized, it does not require the presence of an intermediary such as a bank to trade.
When trading, transactions are recorded in an encrypted format in a digital storage system known as "blockchain," hence the term "cryptocurrency."
