What Are Altcoins? Let's Break It Down.
Altcoins are alternative cryptocurrencies to Bitcoin. They include everything from Ethereum and Cardano to newer players like Avalanche and Arbitrum. Each altcoin operates on its own blockchain or ecosystem, often designed to solve specific problems or offer unique features—like smart contracts, faster transactions, or enhanced privacy.
Why do they matter?
Altcoins bring innovation to the crypto space and offer investors more options for diversification beyond BTC.
