False

While the terms “cryptocurrencies” and “crypto assets” are often used interchangeably in casual conversation, they have different meanings in a more precise context.

  • Cryptocurrencies specifically refer to digital currencies that use cryptography for security and operate on a blockchain technology. Examples include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

  • Crypto assets, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses not only cryptocurrencies but also other types of digital assets like tokens and other forms of blockchain-based assets.

Thus, while they overlap, they are not synonymous.
