Only the owner of the cryptocurrency will be able to check the details which are saved in the blockchain.
  • The digital currency is managed by the central government of each country. The RBI controls the complete services they will have access to, to check all the transactions. The cryptocurrencies are decentralized which means there is no third person to check on the transactions.
