Cryptocurrency Categories

Base-layer blockchain protocols that process and finalise transactions on their own network. These include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other foundational chains.

Decentralised finance tokens powering lending, borrowing, trading, and yield protocols. These tokens enable financial services without traditional intermediaries.

Tokens pegged to fiat currencies like USD. Stablecoins provide price stability and are widely used for trading pairs and value transfer across exchanges.

Community-driven tokens originating from internet culture and memes. High volatility and strong social media presence characterise this category.

Tokens associated with NFT marketplaces, collections, and infrastructure. These power the creation, trading, and ownership of non-fungible digital assets.

Cryptocurrencies designed with enhanced transaction privacy and anonymity features. Use advanced cryptography to obscure sender, receiver, and amount details.

Native tokens issued by centralised exchanges. Typically offer trading fee discounts, governance participation, and access to exchange-exclusive features.

Tokenised versions of assets from other blockchains, enabling cross-chain interoperability. Examples include Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) on Ethereum.

Tokens at the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain. These projects focus on decentralised AI computation, data marketplaces, and machine learning.
