Bitcoin dominance is the share of the original cryptocurrency, BTC, in the entire crypto market’s capitalization. For quite some time since its inception in 2009, bitcoin remained the only digital asset in existence and thus, naturally, solely accounted for all the crypto market’s capitalization. However, over time, things started to change. The year 2013 saw the first wave of altcoins that added their value to the crypto market cap’s formula. 2015 was the birth of Ethereum — Bitcoin’s closest rival that spawned the currency ether — and then, in 2017, the ICO boom resulted in BTC dominance further diluted and hitting an all-time low, only to recover to above 50% in a few months. Today, BTC dominance faces its heaviest competition in DeFi, NFT and metaverse tokens, and over 20,000 non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies.
