Coin vs Token What’s the Difference? 🪙

People often use “coin” and “token” like they mean the same thing,
but there’s one important difference:

🪙 Coin = has its own blockchain

BITCOIN ($BTC ) runs on the Bitcoin blockchain.

$ETH runs on Ethereum.

Coins are native assets of their own networks and are often used to pay transaction fees.

🧩 Token = built on an existing blockchain

A token doesn’t need its own blockchain. It can be created on networks like Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Solana.

USDT is a good example: it can exist on multiple blockchains, depending on the version being used.

The easiest way to remember it:

👉 Coin = its own blockchain

👉 Token = uses another blockchain

So, every coin is a crypto asset, but not every crypto asset is a coin.
