  Sort codes and account numbers are not directly used in the context of digital currencies. Digital currencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, operate on decentralized networks and do not rely on traditional banking systems. Transactions are verified and recorded on a blockchain, which eliminates the need for sort codes and account numbers. Instead, users have unique digital wallet addresses that they use to send and receive digital currencies. These addresses are a combination of letters and numbers and serve as the destination for transactions.

  Sort codes and account numbers are primarily used in traditional banking systems for transferring funds between bank accounts. They are not directly applicable to digital currencies, as digital currencies operate on a different infrastructure. However, some cryptocurrency exchanges may require users to link their bank accounts using sort codes and account numbers for the purpose of depositing or withdrawing fiat currencies. This allows users to convert their digital currencies into traditional money and vice versa.
