cryptocurrencies are built, recorded, and stored on the blockchain.
blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are the same thing.
there is no relationship between blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

Explanation:

Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology. Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that use cryptographic techniques. Cryptocurrencies rely on blockchain technology for their operation. The blockchain serves as the underlying infrastructure where cryptocurrency transactions are recorded, stored, and verified. It is not the other way around (blockchain is not built on cryptocurrencies). Also, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are not the same thing (blockchain has applications beyond cryptocurrencies like supply - chain management). And there is a clear relationship (cryptocurrencies use blockchain).

Answer:

Cryptocurrencies are built, recorded, and stored on the blockchain.
