Coins vs Tokens: What’s the Difference in Cryptocurrency? 💰

## 💰 **Coin vs Token**

### **Coin**

* A coin runs on its **own blockchain**.
* Used mainly as **digital money** (payment, store of value, transaction fees).
* Examples:

* **Bitcoin (BTC)** → runs on Bitcoin blockchain
* **Ether (ETH)** → runs on Ethereum blockchain
* **BNB** → runs on BNB Chain

👉 Think of a coin like the **native currency** of a country—it belongs to its own system.

### **Token**

* A token is built on **another blockchain** (it doesn’t have its own).
* Used for **various purposes** beyond payments: governance, access to apps, DeFi, NFTs, gaming, etc.
* Examples:

* **USDT (Tether)** → built on Ethereum, Tron, etc.
* **UNI (Uniswap)** → built on Ethereum
* **MATIC** (originally a token on Ethereum before becoming its own chain)

👉 Think of a token like a **gift card or ticket**—it works inside an existing system.

⚡ **In short:**

* **Coin = Native currency of its own blockchain**
* **Token = Digital asset built on an existing blockchain**
