Bitcoin came under a barrage of harsh criticism after the market crash earlier this year. Some believed that this was a sign of the approaching end that critics had predicted for Bitcoin, questioning its dominance in the cryptocurrency market.
Despite this, the current behavior of the very first cryptocurrency on the market proves the opposite. Over six months, the dominance rate increased from 38% to 66.5%, which is approximately equal to the indicators of November last year. At the beginning of this year, this figure fell from 87% to 35.78%. Currently, Bitcoin dominance is 44.7%, which means that Bitcoin holds 44.7% of the total value of the digital currency market.
This means that out of the $317 billion that is currently in circulation in the cryptocurrency market, 44.7% is made up of Bitcoin assets. This makes Bitcoin the most reliable and trustworthy cryptocurrency. While some digital currencies are still losing value, Bitcoin has begun a recovery and will continue to increase its dominance unless altcoins begin to see similar price gains. The growing level of dominance basically means that there is much more demand for Bitcoin than for other cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin has long been a lifeline for investors who convert their funds when the altcoin market becomes too volatile. This trend will continue to exist, especially now that the most reliable cryptocurrency has begun to gain momentum. Investors will convert their altcoins into Bitcoin and it, in turn, will increase its dominance.
However, the rise of Bitcoin's dominance is not bad news for altcoins. Although many investors withdraw funds from their projects and buy Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency market and altcoins often show good growth when the price of Bitcoin rises.
