Bitcoin dominance FAQ
What is Bitcoin dominance today?
Bitcoin is 60.2% of the total crypto market cap of $2.71T (Ethereum 10.7%, USDT and USDC together 9.4%), according to CoinGecko's latest reading on this page.
What is Bitcoin dominance?
Bitcoin's market capitalisation divided by the market capitalisation of all cryptocurrencies, as a percentage. A rising share means money is concentrating in BTC; a falling one that altcoins or stablecoins are growing faster.
Why does stablecoin share matter?
Stablecoins are dollars waiting on the sidelines. When their share rises while prices fall, holders are moving out of volatile coins; Bitcoin dominance can rise in the same move even as BTC falls.
How does Bitcoin dominance relate to altcoin season?
High or rising dominance usually goes with Bitcoin beating most altcoins. The altcoin season index measures that directly: the share of the top 50 altcoins that beat Bitcoin over 90 days.
Where does the data come from?
The CoinGecko API (/global): total market cap in US dollars and each large coin's share of it. CoinGecko tracks thousands of coins, so its total and shares can differ from other sites that count a different list. Not financial advice.
