Bitcoin’s market cap dominance has reached 54.5, according to data provided by TradingView. This marks the highest value in this metric for Bitcoin since July 2021.
A coin’s dominance is a ratio of its market capitalization to the cumulative cryptocurrency market capitalization. It is calculated by dividing the coin’s market capitalization by the overall market capitalization of the top 125 coins and multiplying by 100.

This indicates that investors are betting on riskier assets that are more likely to generate higher returns.
