Reason: Cryptocurrencies are typically decentralized and not backed or controlled by a central authority, and many lack regulatory/legal-tender status. That contributes to price volatility and uncertain stability, so they don’t reliably serve the same functions (stable unit of account, widely accepted medium of exchange, and store of value) as fiat like the USD.
