But the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is still up about 16% in March. Ether dropped below $1,800.

The NFT marketplace has teamed up with Yield Guild Games, Game7 and Fenix Games to bring Web3 games mainstream.

NFTs continued to grow beyond their humble Ethereum roots this week, with Magic Eden becoming the first major NFT marketplace to offer Bitcoin-based collectibles on its platform. Web3 gaming was also in the spotlight, as Sony filed a patent that could make NFTs transferable between different games and consoles. Meanwhile, blockchains Immutable and Polygon announced a major partnership aimed at making it easier for developers and game studios to jump into Web3.

Bitcoin has swept the globe and established itself as a well-liked investment choice for many people. Due mainly to the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the cryptocurrency industry has recently seen a rise in popularity. Investors have, however, been interested in more than that. Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency with meme inspiration, has gained popularity in the cryptocurrency space, and its success has led investors to search for other investment opportunities. Five alternatives to Dogecoin are examined in this article: DigiToads (TOADS), Tamadoge (TAMA), Dogelon Mars (ELON), Baby Dogecoin (BABYDOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). DigiToads (TOADS) DigiToads, often known as TOADS, is a cryptocurrency that has recently attracted the interest of several traders and investors. It was introduced as a play-to-earn meme coin in early 2023, and its presale has shown great promise. The unique notion of DigiToads is one of the distinguishing qualities that sets it different from other cryptocurrencies. It is intended to be a platform driven by the community and pays users for their involvement. Users may earn TOADS tokens by participating in various platform activities, including playing games, on-chain trading competitions, TOAD school, meme contests, and staking. The presale will include $150,000 worth of giveaways, encouraging the new members to join the community and increase their reward chances. The restricted quantity of DigiToads is another aspect that makes it a desirable investment option. Just 585 million TOADS tokens will ever be produced, with an automated burning mechanism reducing the number further. This deflationary model distinguishes TOADS from Dogecoin, whose unlimited supply has been a major factor restricting the token from rising in value. Overall, DigiToads is an ultimate alternative for DOGE with its generous utility, real use cases, and smart tokenomics. With an already audited smart contract and doxxed team, the project is expected to reach the moon. Visit The DigiToads Website: https://digitoads.world Tamadoge (TAMA) Tamadoge (TAMA) is a wildly successful meme currency with an intriguing roadmap. Tamadoge was first introduced to the market in 2021, and with its fascinating combination of NFTs and Play-to-Earn (P2E) principles, it quickly gained attention. The main factor contributing to TAMA's success is its innovative use case. TAMA is designed to be used in a decentralized game called Tamadoge, a play-to-earn game that allows players to earn TAMA tokens by completing various tasks and challenges. This concept has proven popular with gamers and has helped drive demand for the TAMA token. Another main feature of TAMA is its strong community. The team behind TAMA has made a strong effort to create a welcoming and inclusive community focused on the project's long-term success. This has helped to create a loyal following of investors who believe in the project's potential. Tamadoge's popularity has been strengthened even further due to the publication of the "Tamadoge Arcade," which currently has three games. The Tamadoge team is also preparing for the much-anticipated augmented reality (AR) app launch with a Tamadoge theme. With the use of this software, users can observe and communicate with their Tamadoge dogs in the real world and even engage in competitive combat. Dogelon Mars (ELON) Dogelon Mars (ELON) is a relatively new cryptocurrency that has gained much attention recently. The name itself is a nod to Elon Musk, the famous CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, who has been known to tweet about various cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin. Dogelon Mars is a decentralized finance (DeFi) project that operates on the Ethereum blockchain. It was created by a group of anonymous developers who were inspired by the success of other meme-based cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. Future Mars and beyond colonists will be able to use ELON tokens as an "intergalactic currency," according to the token's developers. However, no whitepaper or detailed roadmap has been published by the project team yet. Official Dogelon Mars lore states that the project's most crucial plans will be unveiled upon Mars's re-colonization in 2420. The project's narrative motivates the ELON crypto community to campaign for the token's inclusion on major exchanges and to keep their heads up in the face of the market's volatility. Developers of Dogelon Mars have also announced plans to release a new staking feature that will allow users to stake their ELON tokens in exchange for xELON. This multifunctional token is said to offer exciting new incentives for the Dogelon Mars decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. In addition to the hazy plans that Dogelon Mars has for expanding to other planets, the project has also started publishing a comic series on its website centered around Dogelon. Baby Dogecoin (BABYDOGE) Baby Doge is a digital token developed by the Dogecoin community. According to the website, Baby Doge tries to win over his dad with lightning-fast transactions and cuteness. Baby Dogecoin is a hyper-deflationary token created to increase in value as time passes. However, unlike other crypto projects' burning mechanisms, in baby doge's case, every time a user makes a purchase, they receive a new coin in their wallet. Some of those coins are also added to the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap as part of a liquidity pair. Charity organizations also benefit from redistribution. The website for baby doge coin claims that its creators have given over $750,000 to dog-related organizations like the Humane Society, the ASPCA, Paws with Cause, the North Shore Animal League, and others. About 115.114 quadrillion baby doge in circulation from 420 quadrillions can ever be created. Despite claims that one doge baby is hyper-deflationary, the total supply is still quite large and could have dire consequences during bear markets. The developers of Baby Doge Coin say the token is a fun meme with a serious mission to rescue dogs in need and bring crypto adoption to the mainstream with new concepts like rewards, NFTs, decentralized exchanges, and credit cards for crypto payment on our website. However, there is currently a limited practical application for the coin. Nonetheless, support from the community continues to be high, and the deflationary mechanism provides a real solution to the problem that father Dogecoin had been facing for so long. Shiba Inu (SHIB) A person going by the moniker "Ryoshi" invented the Ethereum-based cryptocurrency known as Shiba Inu (SHIB) in August 2020. The Shiba Inu dog breed, which became renowned as an online joke, served as the model for the coin's name and graphic. SHIB has developed into a genuine cryptocurrency with a committed community of investors and supporters, despite its roots as a joke. SHIB's emphasis on fostering community is one of its key characteristics. To encourage its users to interact with the platform and with one another, the project has started several projects. For instance, it developed ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange that enables users to trade SHIB and other cryptocurrencies without depending on centralized exchanges. Shiba Gallery, a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace developed by the project, enables artists to display and sell their creations using SHIB. The tokenomics of SHIB is another important aspect. As there are one quadrillion tokens in the coin's total supply, there is a lot of liquidity accessible for investors. However, the project's team has also taken several steps to guard against the currency suffering undue inflation. For instance, they burnt half of the SHIB token supply, reducing the number of tokens in circulation and raising the value of each token as a result. Despite just being recently launched, SHIB already has a sizable fanbase. The coin's market valuation has surpassed $6 billion and is listed on some significant exchanges, including Binance, KuCoin, OKX, Huobi Global, and Kraken. Bottom Line Dogecoin continues to be a well-liked option among cryptocurrency investors and fans, but there are a ton of other choices available for individuals looking to diversify their portfolios or discover the next big thing in the crypto industry. All of these digital currencies—DigiToads (TOAD), Tamadoge (TAMA), Dogelon Mars (ELON), Baby DogeCoin, and Shiba Inu (SHIB)—offer distinctive characteristics and potential for growth. As cryptocurrencies are still expanding and becoming more widely used, it's impossible to predict which altcoin will have a price explosion shortly. Still, these five Dogecoin alternatives are worth keeping an eye on.

It has emerged that some Binance employees and trained volunteers are helping users based in China to circumvent the country’s KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements. The message was first picked up from messages circulating in a Telegram group and a Binance-controlled Discord server. A Dedicated Volunteer Group? Binance is currently the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by transaction volume, processing over $9 trillion worth of trades in 2021 alone. However, the exchange is not supposed to operate in certain areas and countries, with one such country being China, which banned crypto outright in 2021. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has often called the exchange’s KYC norms a billion-dollar effort, stopping those users that are not supposed to be on the platform. However, it has emerged that Chinese citizens and others around the world have been able to circumvent these restrictions, hiding their country of residence and accessing the platform. According to reports, this has been made possible thanks to some Binance employees and trained volunteers that have been helping these users. The reports cited messages from a Discord server and Telegram group to back their claims. Participants of the group, also called “Angels,” often share techniques to forge bank documents, falsify addresses, and hide the user’s country of origin. This allowed users in restricted countries, such as China, to bypass KYC norms and controls and access a Binance debit card. China had banned crypto exchanges in 2017 and banned cryptocurrencies outright in 2021. Speaking about the reports, a Binance spokesperson stated, “Binance employees are explicitly forbidden from suggesting or supporting users in circumventing their local laws and regulatory policies, and would be immediately dismissed or audited if found to have violated those policies.” Are Binance’s KYC Protocols Secure? According to the report, the two groups in question had over 220,000 registered users. The groups can be accessed by anyone who has registered and joined. No controls were placed on who could access the group until late March. The techniques shown in these groups showed users how to forge bank documents and offer false addresses. Other techniques involved the simple manipulation of the exchange systems. Volunteers also shared video guides showing users how to obtain a Binance debit card, effectively turning their Binance account into a regular checking account. These techniques put a dark cloud over the effectiveness of Binance’s KYC and anti-money laundering efforts. For entities such as Binance, anti-money laundering efforts are critical to ensure that customers are not engaging in any illegal activities. However, many experts in financial regulation have shared their concerns, stating that the exchange’s KYC and AML requirements can easily be subverted. Far-Reaching Consequences These developments could have far-reaching consequences for national security that extend far beyond China. Former FDIC chief innovation officer and Duke University Professor, Sultan Meghji, summed up the concerns, stating, “If I had an eight out of 10 concern about Binance from a regulatory perspective and from a national security perspective, this takes it to a 10 out of 10.” He further added that these concerns extend far beyond just China, stating, “I think explicitly about the national security implications of how terrorists, criminals, money launderers, cyber people in North Korea, Russian oligarchs, et cetera, could use this to get access to this infrastructure.” Jim Richards, anti-money laundering executive at Wells Fargo, echoed the sentiment, stating that techniques used to bypass Binance’s KYC controls could have further ramifications, raising the specter of North Korea, Russia, and Iran. A Binance executive, responding to the report, stated that the exchange had taken actions against employees found violating internal policies. “We have taken action against employees who may have violated our internal policies, including wrongly soliciting or making recommendations that are not allowed or in line with our standards. We have strict policies requiring all users to pass KYC by providing us with their country of residence and other personal identification information.” Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is increasingly shaping the future of financial transactions, and it's crucial for platforms to maintain their integrity and ethical standing. DeFiLlama, a leading on-chain analytics platform, found itself in a difficult position when news broke of an internal conflict and a potential fork due to a rogue team member. Fortunately, the team has since resolved the conflict and assured users that the platform will continue to operate as usual. The dispute, which centered around a hostile takeover of the on-chain analytics platform, was brought to light by a core contributor using the pseudonym 0xngmi on Twitter. The rogue team member, identified as 0xLLam4, was reportedly attempting to launch a native LLAMA token without the consensus of the DeFiLlama team. 1/3 The DeFiLlama team would like to apologize for the events that unfolded yesterday, as a result of poor communication and a misunderstanding within the team. — DefiLlama.com (@DefiLlama) March 20, 2023 Following the revelation, DeFiLlama took to Twitter to apologize for the chaos, attributing the events to poor communication. The platform assured users and clients that there is no LLAMA token in the pipeline, quelling fears of a potential disruption to the platform's operations. Tendeeno, a contributor to Llama Corp, revealed that 0xLLam4 was, in fact, the founder of the platform. The founder's eagerness to launch the token and generate revenue was the primary cause of the conflict. However, with the situation now resolved, DeFiLlama has managed to safeguard its reputation and maintain the trust of its users and clients. As the DeFi ecosystem continues to evolve, it is essential for platforms like DeFiLlama to uphold the principles of ethical journalism, balanced reporting, and professional news standards. By resolving the internal conflict and demonstrating transparency, DeFiLlama has set a strong example for others in the industry to follow.

As DeFi continues to revolutionize the financial landscape, analytics platforms like DeFiLlama play a crucial role in providing comprehensive insights into the rapidly evolving sector. As a refresher, decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to the decentralized ecosystem built on blockchain technology, which eliminates intermediaries such as banks and other traditional financial institutions. By leveraging smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), as such, DeFi allows users to access a wide range of financial services, including lending, borrowing, trading, and investing, in a secure, transparent, and permissionless manner.

Tomorrow’s interest rate decision could be an important factor in whether Crypto continues its rise over the last few months. 25 basis points rise? How crypto markets will react to tomorrow’s interest rate decision will be interesting to see. After the varied collapses in the banking industry many are expecting Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to announce a smaller 25 basis points cut, or to even declare a pause in cuts until more data is forthcoming on the strength of the banks and the economy. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the current market view is that there is a strong likelihood of a 25 basis points rate hike. The percentage probability of this is at 81.9%, with 18.1% expecting rates to stay as they are. Many analysts suggest that the Fed shouldn’t hike rates at all, and some are even of the opinion that it needs to start cutting straight away in order to take the pressure off of the banks. However, it may be the Fed’s view that the sheer amount of currency that it and some of the biggest banks have thrown at the problem, has given it the space it needs to get the interest rates up to its target. The time is certainly going to come when the Fed will need to pivot and start cutting rates, and it will need to have built up a decent percentage of around 5% + in order to have enough points to cut with. Banks have a better day The banking industry is breathing again given that First Republic Bank is up around 30% on the day so far, after a brutal sell-off over the last few days, with a 47% tank in share price on Monday alone. Credit Suisse has stopped haemorrhaging for the time being, and UBS, the Swiss bank that bought the beleaguered banking giant, is up 8%. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is expected to announce today that the federal government could intervene again if any other banks start to fail. Crypto at critical level So where does all this leave crypto? Obviously, yet another rate raise can’t be good for crypto. Already suffering from the loss of 3 major banks that provided fiat on/off ramps, crypto could see a bit of a pull back on a 25 bp rise. However, one of the reasons for the surge in the crypto market cap since the beginning of the year is the expectation that the Fed pivot is coming, even though it still could be some way off. If the Fed should actually surprise the market and cut rates, albeit an extremely minimal possibility, bitcoin and crypto could really motor on upwards.
