Trading cryptocurrencies or Forex sounds like a path to riches these days. But if you are a beginner, you might be hesitant about which deal to choose. Crypto trading is often considered to be similar to forex trading because forex trading also involves trading currencies. Although there are also some key differences between the two.
Forex trading is large and mature, while crypto trading is relatively new to the market. Crypto trading does not require any middlemen, while forex trading usually involves middlemen, brokers, and institutions that charge fees at every step of the transaction.
Since the inception of Bitcoin, the trading market has changed. The success of cryptocurrency traders has created a huge hype for buying and trading digital currencies. Therefore, this article can guide you on how to choose which type of trading to start with. Before we compare these two trading mediums so that users can make the best choice, let’s briefly introduce the two trading types.
The foreign exchange market is the largest trading market in the world. It is open 5 days a week, 24 hours a day, with a daily transaction volume of approximately $5 trillion. The foreign exchange market includes banks, corporations, financial institutions, retail investors, and all institutions that exchange currencies for trading or profit.

There are many factors that can affect the foreign exchange market, which may include specific factors such as GDP, inflation, unemployment rate, etc. And that's why traders use the economic calendar to keep up with such information and economic events that can affect the market.

The cryptocurrency market was born after the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009. With the opening of cryptocurrency exchanges and the rise of various altcoins, a huge digital asset trading ecosystem was soon formed. But the crypto market is still very young (about 11 years), it is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
The crypto market currently trades around $100 billion a day. Trading regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges also vary with different regulations related to cryptocurrencies in different parts of the world. In general, crypto markets are less affected by global economic events or traditional financial markets. Traders focus less on news reports and more on charts and analysis.

Difference Between Forex and Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies are often purchased on exchanges. Exchanges act as middlemen and profit from it. Unlike a broker, an exchange acts as a single institution for buying and selling, and usually has a fixed exchange rate for transactions. This simplifies the process for users as there is no need to negotiate, only the terms of the exchange.
Traditional or fiat currencies may or may not be pegged to assets or other currencies, but they are regulated by governments and central banks. The value of global currencies depends on the goods they produce, and how their countries perform in competition with other global players.
Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, weren't even around a decade ago, and they're not tied to a country or bank. Most are unpegged, although they can be pegged to other assets. They rely on a combination of their own utility and speculative beliefs to derive value. Digital currencies have their own uses, and different cryptocurrencies correspond to different projects.

Which market is best for you?
One could argue that Forex has a long history and is therefore more protected, stable and regulated. But cryptocurrency trading can earn higher returns than forex. Both markets share some similarities, for example, they are both forms of electronic currency transactions, so a computer device with internet access is required to trade.

Cryptocurrency is a finite asset which makes it more popular and in high demand. Cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous, which means the market is open to everyone.
