Blockchain is the technology underpinning all cryptocurrencies, and many related products like non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In essence, it is a virtual spreadsheet on which all the buying and selling of crypto is recorded. They are arranged in blocks linked together in a giant chain - hence the name.

The cryptocurrency market is relatively calm on Wednesday as Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to extend its recovery above $119,000, following a sell-off to $115,736 the previous day. Altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP), offer bullish cues, reflecting steady interest from both institutional and retail traders.

Cryptocurrency markets are trading higher on Tuesday, with ‘crypto week’ expected to see two crypto bills passing the House of Representatives.
