Bitcoin

Bitcoin, represented by the ticker BTC, is the first decentralized cryptocurrency and top cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin allows users to transfer value through a peer-to-peer network without relying on a central bank or payment intermediary.

Bitcoin allows value to be transferred directly between participants through a peer-to-peer network. Transactions are recorded on a shared public ledger known as the Bitcoin blockchain and verified by computers distributed around the world.

The Bitcoin protocol limits the total supply to 21 million BTC. Each Bitcoin can be divided into 100 million smaller units called satoshis, allowing users to hold or transfer a fraction of one BTC.

Bitcoin’s market value is commonly shown through the BTC/USD rate, which indicates how much one Bitcoin is worth in US dollars. This page provides Binance market data for the live Bitcoin price, trading volume, market capitalization, circulating supply and historical BTC price performance.
