Virtual currency is a digital expression of value that is not issued by a central bank or a public authority, nor is it necessarily linked to a legal currency, but is accepted by natural or legal persons as a means of payment and can be transferred, stored or traded electronically. Penguin Q coins, NetEase Cloud Music’s sign-in points, as well as Bitcoin and EOS, all belong to the category of virtual currencies.
Digital currency refers to a currency that is presented in digital form, rather than physical currency such as banknotes and coins; it assumes functions similar to physical currency, but can support instant transactions and ownership transfers without geographical restrictions. Digital currencies include cryptocurrencies, as well as central bank digital currencies.
Tokens are issued directly by the project party on the blockchain network. Moreover, the number of tokens allocated is often "predetermined", such as what proportion of tokens are allocated to developers, how much is used for operations, etc. The token itself does not have any value, but its value is determined by the issuer's business model.
