Pricing in the cryptocurrency world refers to the current value of a digital asset—such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana—at a given moment. Unlike traditional assets like stocks, which are priced based on company performance, crypto prices are entirely driven by supply and demand dynamics in the market.
When someone mentions the "price" of Bitcoin, they’re usually referring to the last traded price on a specific exchange. This price constantly fluctuates as buyers and sellers interact. For instance, if a buyer purchases 1 Bitcoin for $60,000, the market price of Bitcoin becomes $60,000—until the next transaction changes it again. This real-time movement is called price volatility, and it’s one of crypto’s defining features.
