What is BTC Dominance?
As defined in our crypto glossary, dominance refers to the percentage of the total crypto market cap that any specific cryptocurrency occupies. So BTC Dominance, for example, is the Bitcoin market cap divided by the total crypto market cap. This index is a common metric to indicate the relative strength of Bitcoin's price vs the rest of the altcoin space. In early 2017, BTC Dominance famously took a sharp turn downward as Ethereum and ICO's started gaining mainstream attention. The chart below shows this firsthand: chart courtesy of coinmarketcap.com
This trend has largely reversed over the following years as BTC regained center stage. It plunged again in 2021 as another bull market emerged, centering on NFTs and other layer-2 blockchains. If one thing is certain, however, the story is far from over. Historically, dominance is an important crypto indicator — lining up with Bitcoin price spikes and the shifting altcoin narrative.
