During this period, the most traded currencies on the network were Bitcoin, Ripple, Dogecoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
Currency.com welcomes all types of investors and provides tokenized securities that monitor and enable you to invest in the underlying market price of popular financial instruments such as global equities, indices, and commodities. The platform makes complex trading quick and simple, making it appealing to both new and experienced traders.
Furthermore, Currency.com users can trade across several categories such as cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks of some of the world's largest corporations, and commodities, including gold, silver, and oil.
