- Bitcoin’s dominance surges to 61%, signaling a shift in market confidence.
- Ethereum’s market share drops to 8%, reflecting declining investor interest.
- Altcoin Season Index at 13/100 confirms Bitcoin’s growing market control.
Bitcoin dominance continues to climb, reaching levels last seen four years ago. This surge signals a shift in investor sentiment and capital flow within the cryptocurrency market. According to Crypto Rand, Bitcoin’s dominance has now reached 61%, reflecting growing market confidence in the leading digital asset.
Meanwhile, Ethereum’s market share has declined, falling to just 8%. This trend suggests a weakening investor interest in Ethereum as traders increasingly favor Bitcoin. If this trajectory persists, Bitcoin could soon control between 65% and 70% of the total crypto market, solidifying its position as the dominant asset.

Bitcoin’s Market Position Strengthens
Bitcoin’s dominance is a strong indicator of market confidence, and its current rise suggests that investors are moving away from altcoins. Institutional adoption, macroeconomic conditions, and regulatory clarity may be contributing to this trend.
At press time, Bitcoin is priced at $82,088.45, showing a 0.59% increase in the past 24 hours. However, it has declined by 8.37% over the past seven days. With a circulating supply of 20 million BTC, its market cap stands at an impressive $1.62 trillion.
Ethereum Struggles as Investors Turn to Bitcoin
While Bitcoin gains ground, Ethereum has seen its dominance slide to 8%, indicating a decline in investor interest. Ethereum’s current price stands at $1,884.31, marking a 1.10% rise in the last 24 hours but a significant 16.12% drop over the past week. Its market cap is currently valued at $227.45 billion.
The sharp decline suggests that traders may be shifting their focus from Ethereum to Bitcoin, potentially due to concerns about scalability, competition, or delayed upgrades in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Altcoins Lose Momentum
The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization is now at $2.68 trillion, with altcoins collectively holding around 30% of the market share. This decline reflects an ongoing shift in capital towards Bitcoin, particularly as the Altcoin Season Index stands at just 13 out of 100.
This metric indicates that the market is currently in a Bitcoin season rather than favoring altcoins. Binance Coin (BNB) has performed relatively well, rising by 3.81% to $581.53, while Solana has seen a modest gain of 0.38%, reaching $125.26. However, the broader altcoin market remains under pressure.
Investor Sentiment and Market Trends
Despite Bitcoin’s dominance increasing, the Fear and Greed Index currently sits at 21, indicating that the market remains in a state of fear. This suggests that while Bitcoin is gaining ground, investor confidence is not yet fully restored.
Additionally, the CoinMarketCap 100 Index, which tracks the top 100 cryptocurrencies, has increased by 0.94% to $161.77. This slight rise indicates modest growth, but the market remains uncertain.
