For example, they might be used to purchase services or redeem rewards. Filecoin, which is used to buy cloud storage space, is an example of a utility token.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Stablecoins<\/strong><\/p><p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalsurge.com.au\/education\/what-are-stablecoins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stablecoin<\/a> is a type of hybrid cryptocurrency whose value is tied to a stable asset like USD or gold. Stablecoins attempt to bridge traditional finance with the world of cryptocurrency. Initially, stablecoins were created to mimic fiat currency and to be used by traders who operated on exchanges that did not offer direct fiat to crypto trading.<\/p><p>Stablecoins are generally \u2018pegged\u2019 to a real-world asset like fiat currency, precious metals or even other cryptocurrencies. This adds stability to their value, reducing much of the uncertainty and volatility that deters people from investing in crypto.<\/p><p><strong>Mining-based coins<\/strong><\/p><p>While coins can be bought with fiat currency, they can also be mined. <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalsurge.com.au\/education\/what-is-bitcoin-mining-proof-of-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mining<\/a> requires the user to validate transactions on the network, ensuring the network&#8217;s authenticity and legitimacy. This is done with powerful computers and miners are rewarded with cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is an example of a mining-based coin, while Ethereum is an example of a mining-based coin transitioning to a Proof-of-Stake method which is far less energy intensive.<\/p><p><strong>Security tokens<\/strong><\/p><p>Security tokens are traded with the expectation of getting direct profit from them. They are a form of investment contract which promises equity in a company or even voting rights in the project. Security tokens are generally\u00a0linked to a business and are governed by security laws, meaning there are stricter guidelines on purchasing and transferring security tokens than other types of tokens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ccdbc76 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ccdbc76\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"content-4\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e80480b\" data-id=\"e80480b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c08739 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"4c08739\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"examples-of-popular-altcoins\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc2a7b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cc2a7b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Examples of popular altcoins<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80bb864 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80bb864\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Ethereum (ETH)<\/strong><\/p><p>Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world.
