Altcoins
Altcoins refer to all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, encompassing a wide range of blockchain projects with different goals and technologies. This category includes platforms like Ethereum, payment-focused coins, privacy-focused assets, stablecoins, and tokens powering DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications. Many altcoins aim to improve on Bitcoin’s limitations by offering faster transactions, lower fees, or additional functionality such as smart contracts. While some altcoins have achieved significant adoption, others are experimental or short-lived, making the market highly dynamic. Together, altcoins represent innovation, competition, and diversification within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
