Virtual payment tokens
Digital cash is electronic money that can be transferred directly between parties without going through a bank or payment processor.
Unlike credit cards or bank transfers, digital cash aims to replicate physical currency's anonymity and immediate settlement: Bitcoin was the first widely adopted form of digital cash.
The term covers both cryptocurrency and earlier electronic payment systems designed for online transactions.
