Bitcoin Dominance Hits 60% as Investors Flee Altcoins
The leading cryptocurrency reaches its highest market share since May as smaller assets face sharp declines.

Bitcoin dominance in the digital asset market reached the 60% mark this week. This movement reflects a shift in investor preference as they seek refuge in the primary cryptocurrency amid the devaluation of alternative assets.
While Bitcoin maintains its position, the performance of smaller tokens remains negative. The memecoin index recorded a drop of over 5%. Meanwhile, the computing and decentralized finance sectors saw declines of 3.5% and 2.5% respectively.
The global macroeconomic landscape exerts a direct influence on price behavior. Bitcoin scarcity may offer support to the asset if instability hits stock markets around the world.
Exchange-traded fund flows remain volatile and lack a clear upward trend. Analysts note that the absence of consistent capital inflows makes it difficult to confirm a more robust recovery for the sector.
The market is now awaiting the next Federal Reserve meeting on interest rate policy. This event is seen as a decisive factor for the direction of financial flows in the coming weeks.
