The unique feature about CRV is that it is a utility token of the Curve.fi protocol for exchanging stablecoins and other ERC-20 tokens.

Unlike other exchanges that match buyers and sellers, Curve.fi provides an exchange platform that works on different behavior and leverages liquidity pools. Thus, Curve creates liquidity pools based on smart contracts that function as an automated market maker, rather than relying on order books (electronic documentation of a currency’s buy and sell activities).

Besides, CRV token holders have the right to suggest and vote on the changes to the platform.
