Cryptocurrency is a form of currency with no physical form. After the formation of the internet in the 1970s, US cryptographer David Chaum developed the concept of an e-currency, called ecash. Since then, many around the world have used digital currencies such as Bitcoin to pay, trade and save.

To many, Cryptocurrencies are little more than a confidence trick. As with all currencies, the value of cryptocurrency relies on the confidence of the market investing in it. The success of any given currency depends on a number of factors, including economic and political inputs. The Cryptocurrencies – Thematic Research report focuses on cryptocurrencies and their future role in the world.
