Bitcoin Dominance Hits Over 49%, Highest in 2 Years – What's Going On?
Bitcoin (BTC) dominance in the crypto market has surpassed 49%, reaching its highest level in over two years.
According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin dominance is currently at 49.58%, nearly three times the dominance of Ethereum (ETH), the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which is around 16.7%.
This steady increase in dominance, starting at around 38% at the start of the year, means Bitcoin's market share will increase significantly.
Bitcoin's rise in dominance can largely be attributed to its year-long recovery, with the cryptocurrency's price up 81% since the start of 2023.
This impressive performance solidified Bitcoin's position as a leading force in the market.
Several factors may be contributing to this increase :-
First, concerns about inflation, geopolitical risks and the growing polarization of the US government have prompted investors to seek safe haven assets, thereby minimizing risks.
Bitcoin, with its decentralized nature and limited supply, has become an attractive option for those seeking stability amid uncertainty.
Additionally, the possibility of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) receiving regulatory approval has further boosted confidence in the cryptocurrency.
The approval of a Bitcoin ETF will provide traditional investors with an easy and regulated way to invest in Bitcoin, potentially attracting a significant inflow of capital into the market.
