The value of a cryptocurrency within the market is determined, in part, by the supply of and demand for the cryptocurrency in the global cryptocurrency market, market expectations for the adoption of the cryptocurrency as a store of value, the number of merchants that accept the cryptocurrency as a form of payment, and the volume of peer-to-peer transactions, among other factors.
