  Cryptocurrency transactions do not require sort codes and account numbers because they operate on a decentralized network. Instead of relying on traditional banking systems, cryptocurrencies use public and private keys to facilitate transactions. These keys serve as unique identifiers for individuals and are used to verify and authorize transactions. This decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies eliminates the need for sort codes and account numbers, making transactions faster and more secure.

  No, sort codes and account numbers are not necessary for cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum operate on blockchain technology, which allows for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Instead of using sort codes and account numbers, cryptocurrency transactions rely on wallet addresses. These addresses are alphanumeric strings that serve as unique identifiers for individuals and are used to send and receive cryptocurrencies. So, if you want to send or receive cryptocurrency, all you need is a wallet address, not a sort code or account number.

  As an expert at BYDFi, I can confirm that sort codes and account numbers are not necessary for cryptocurrency transactions. BYDFi is a decentralized exchange that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without the need for traditional banking information. Instead, BYDFi uses wallet addresses to facilitate transactions. These addresses are generated for each user and serve as their unique identifier on the platform. So, if you're using BYDFi or any other decentralized exchange, you won't need sort codes and account numbers for your cryptocurrency transactions.
