Virtual currency

Virtual currency is digital or non-physical currency that exists exclusively electronically and is used for online payments, transactions or exchange within digital systems. It is not issued or guaranteed by a central bank, but can be managed by online platforms, companies or decentralized networks. Examples include in-game currency, digital credits and some forms of crypto-related tokens. Virtual currency is used for purchases within digital environments and online services. Thanks to its fast and digital nature, virtual currency enables efficient and cross-border transactions within specific platforms and applications.
