Could you elaborate on the concept of a crypto asset, please? As a financial and cryptocurrency practitioner, I'm curious to understand its fundamental definition and how it differs from traditional assets. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing if crypto assets are digital representations of value that utilize cryptography for security, and if they operate on decentralized networks such as blockchains. Additionally, I'd like to know if crypto assets encompass a wide range of digital currencies, tokens, and other digital assets, and if they are traded on specialized crypto exchanges. Thank you for your insights.
