Virtual currencies: Bitcoin and beyond

When it comes to virtual (aka "digital") currency, bitcoin gets the lion's share of coverage in the mass media in part because it was the first fully implemented currency of its kind.

However, plenty of other virtual currencies have been forged along with bitcoin at last count, more than 500 in all.

In addition, we've included notes on a handful of lesser-known virtual currencies that have interesting backstories.

Infographic | April 7, 2021

Open Finance involves an extension of Open Banking principles to a wider field of financial services and products. It is a new paradigm where data from multiple sources beyond banking can help build innovative and inclusive financial services. These conditions make Open Finance a perfect fit for Latin America, a region where users’ financial lives don’t take place exclusively within the walls of banks.
