Bitcoin Dominance, the metric that measures Bitcoin’s total market capitalization compared to all other crypto asset ratings, has plummeted in recent weeks.

Bitcoin dominance drops to 50%

Since the birth of alternative crypto assets, people have been using a metric called Bitcoin (BTC) dominance, a measurement that measures the total capitalization of BTC versus all the market capitalizations of other coins.

Interestingly, the dominance of BTC minus a few minor dips was over the 80% range from the day of conception to February 2017.

In the first week of January 2018, BTC dominance fell to an all-time low of 33%. This year, Bitcoin dominance was mostly above the 60% region and nearly 70% in January 2021.

However, since February 28, BTC dominance has dropped from 61% to a low of 50% on April 23. At the same time, Ethereum (ETH) has risen from 11.8% to 14.5% from February 28th until now.

A large number of competitors are lowering the Bitcoin dominance levels

Ethereum’s market cap isn’t the only coin detracting from BTC’s dominance. The Binance coin has taken third place in terms of crypto market ratings, holding 4.33% of the crypto economy’s total market cap of $ 1.87 trillion.

The stablecoin Tether (USDT) holds 2.8%, XRP 2.25% and Cardano (ADA) today 1.9%. The top 15th position of Solana (SOL) and the seventh Dogecoin position account for at least 50% of the total crypto-economy.

From October 2020 to the present day, total cryptocapitalization excluding Bitcoin has soared from $ 145 billion to nearly a trillion. Large numbers of coins have seen gains alongside BTC’s climatic bull run, but some coins have generally eaten a lot more than most others.

Tokens like Ethereum, Binance Coin, Cardano, XRP, and Tether (USDT) have done the most damage to BTC’s dominance levels.
