This huge leap in transaction speed could give Kaspa more market share than major competitors in the Web3.0 world, thereby changing the game for altcoins.
Besides, the entire crypto market is still highly dependent on Bitcoin, which controls almost 50% of the total market capitalization. However, some altcoins are trying to demonstrate their holdings and values by straying from their tight correlation with Bitcoin. These altcoins strive to stand out by constantly innovating and introducing new products, services and technologies that can provide a competitive advantage. Kaspa stands out as one of these altcoins.
