I'm wondering if a Bitcoin address can change. I know that bitcoin is a digital currency, but I'm not sure if the address where it's stored can be altered or if it remains the same. Can a bitcoin address change?

Each time you receive a transaction involving Bitcoin or Bitcoin-based crypto assets, your address undergoes a change.

These cryptocurrencies use mechanisms that generate a new address for every transaction to enhance security.

In contrast, the addressing system for other crypto assets operates differently.

For instance, when you receive Ethereum, XRP, Stellar, or similar crypto assets, your address remains constant.
