  No, sort codes are not required for sending or receiving cryptocurrency payments. Cryptocurrencies 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 intermediaries like banks. When sending or receiving cryptocurrency, you only need to provide the recipient's wallet address, which is a unique identifier for their digital wallet.

  Sort codes are specific to the banking system and are used for routing payments within traditional financial institutions. Since cryptocurrencies operate independently of banks, sort codes are not applicable in this context. Instead, cryptocurrency transactions rely on cryptographic keys and addresses to ensure secure and direct transfers between parties.
