A virtual currency is an electronic-only digital representation of value. Apps on computers, smartphones, or other devices are used for storage and transactions. Online or secure dedicated networks are used for virtual currency transactions. Furthermore, a subset of digital currencies that are issued by private companies are called virtual currencies, which include tokens and cryptocurrencies. Faster transaction speeds, greater accessibility, and ease of use are all possible with virtual currencies. Since virtual currencies are unregulated and can be compromised by software used to access them, people who are the victims of an attack typically have no legal recourse. Moreover, there are two types of virtual currency, namely, closed virtual currency and open virtual currency. A closed virtual currency is part of a private, regulated environment. It cannot be changed into fiat money from the real world or into another virtual currency. Virtual currencies that are closed off to the public are found in gaming systems. Even though such currencies are functional in their contexts, they are typically not exchangeable for actual cash. Furthermore, open virtual currencies can be changed into other types of money, they are often referred to as convertible virtual currencies. Within or outside of the platform, they can be exchanged for other currencies and function in open ecosystems. Cryptocurrencies such as stablecoins are examples of open virtual currencies. Cryptocurrencies can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies, with Bitcoin and Ethereum being the two largest by market capitalization.
