  Fiat currency, such as the US dollar or the euro, is issued by a central authority, usually a government, and is backed by the trust and confidence of the people. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are decentralized digital currencies that use cryptography for security and operate on a technology called blockchain. Unlike fiat currency, cryptocurrencies are not controlled by any central authority.

One of the main differences between fiat currency and cryptocurrencies is that fiat currency is physical cash or digital representations of cash held in banks, while cryptocurrencies exist only in digital form.
