These transactions take place on a decentralised ledger system called the blockchain. The first crypto was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/btc\">Bitcoin<\/a>, and it remains a leading digital currency, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/eth\">Ethereum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/markets\/xrp\">XRP<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">What is a blockchain?<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>A blockchain is a decentralised digital ledger where encrypted data can be transferred securely, making it nearly impossible to duplicate or counterfeit.

The more coins they hold, the more mining power they have. Staking rewards are shared with users who own the cryptoassets (like eToro and our clients) and who delegate their voting rights to staking pools. The more validations that are delegated to a staking pool, the higher chance of being elected to produce the next block, and the more rewards likely to be received.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item\"><dt class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-question\">How do I trade cryptocurrency?<\/dt><dd class=\"wp-block-etoro-faq-item-answer\">\n<p>Cryptocurrencies can be traded in two ways.
