01What this field explains
Bitcoin trades inside a growing financial system of exchanges, funds, custodians, lenders and public companies. These products can broaden access while introducing counterparties, fees, leverage and legal claims that are not the same as holding keys. This path connects market mechanics to settlement, proof of reserves and protocol-level ownership.
