- 5 emerging ‘new Bitcoin’ alternative projects on the crypto market in 2023
Bitcoin
BTC
$26,564 is the world’s most popular cryptocurrency and the largest by market cap. However, the top coin has been in a downtrend since November 2021 and has a number of limitations, most notably a lack of support for the smart contracts that have enabled NFTs, DeFi, crypto gaming and more.
A growing number of projects are now building on Bitcoin to expand its utility and chart a new future for the original crypto. These high-risk “new Bitcoin” alternatives can sometimes have more upside potential and offer faster, cheaper and greener transactions than the original BTC.
New Bitcoin alternatives
Let’s take a closer look at five of the new Bitcoin alternatives that are bringing Bitcoin into the future.
- Remitano exchange allegedly hacked for $2.7M; null.4M frozen by Tether
The Remitano exchange experienced suspicious transactions, as over $2.7 million was drained from its wallet by a single account.
Crypto exchange Remitano experienced large withdrawals under suspicious circumstances on Sept. 14, with some blockchain analysts concluding that it may have been hacked. A total of $2.7 million worth of crypto has been withdrawn through the suspicious transactions. Tether has frozen one address the attacker allegedly used, potentially saving null.4 million worth of customers’ crypto.
At approximately 12:45 pm, a known Remitano hot wallet began sending funds to an address with no prior history. Approximately null.4 million worth of Tether
USDT
null.00
, $208,000 worth of USD Coin USDCnull.00 and 104,000 Ankr tokens (worth $2,000 at the time) were moved to the new address.

- Bitcoin's Mathematical Monetary Policy Is Far More Predictable Than Gold and Fiat Currencies
This past April, records show that 19 million bitcoins have been mined into existence and 133 days later, there are 1.88 million bitcoins left to mint today. The network’s block subsidy halving is expected to occur on or around April 20, 2024, as there are less than 91,000 bitcoins left to mine until that point. While Bitcoin’s inflation rate per annum is 1.73% today, after the halving in 2024, the crypto asset’s yearly inflation rate will be down to 1.1%.

- Memecoins Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Jump as Ethereum Optimism Spreads
Dogecoin is up about 14% over the past five days, while Shiba Inu has gained almost 40%, according to pricing data compiled by Bloomberg. The meme tokens are holding their gains even as Bitcoin sits around $25,000 and Ether hovers at about $2,000 amid optimism around its upgrade, known as Merge, now expected around Sept. 15.
“Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have both broken out over the weekend, clear evidence that the retail investor is back,” said Hayden Hughes, chief executive of social-trading platform Alpha Impact in a message Monday, noting that there is optimism both coins will gain like Ethereum as they’re each due for upgrades as well.

- Hackers have stolen null.4 billion this year using crypto bridges. Here’s why it’s happening
Crypto investors have been hit hard this year by hacks and scams. One reason is that cybercriminals have found a particularly useful avenue to reach them: bridges.
Blockchain bridges, which tenuously connect networks to enable the fast swaps of tokens, are gaining popularity as a way for crypto users to transact. But in using them, crypto enthusiasts are bypassing a centralized exchange and using a system that’s largely unprotected.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.
