Hyphe: digital asset liquidity for financial institutions

Is digital currency different to cryptocurrency?

Technically ‘digital currency’ refers to any currency that only exists in digital form. That includes cryptocurrencies, built on blockchain technology, but also other digital-only currencies. The coins we trade at Hyphe (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Stellar, EOS, Chainlink, Cardano) are all cryptocurrencies. We refer to them as digital currencies because we believe it’s time to think beyond crypto, and the bigger category definition of digital currency is clearer and easier to understand. We believe language is an important factor in continuing the trend towards greater market participation. But it’s also important in the acceptance of digital currency into the mainstream of finance. That’s why rather than talk about an institutional cryptocurrency trading solution, we talk about digital currency trading, and easy-access digital asset liquidity for institutions.
