With the development of technology, we have entered the digital age. The development of technology has brought many innovations to our lives. Blockchain technology is also among these innovations. This technology, which we are not used to before, has different features than other databases. In this study, we examined blockchain technology, which is a new database system based on cryptography science that does not have any central authority. The types and features of crypto assets, which are virtual currencies based on blockchain technology, are mentioned. Crypto assets, which have different characteristics than traditional currencies, attract the attention of companies and individuals. In the last section, the price of bitcoin and litecoin virtual currencies, which are crypto currencies, was predicted using regression analysis.
