Bitcoin strengthens its hegemony on the Crypto market, reaching a dominance of 61.2% according to recent data. This rise in power confirms the breathlessness of the recent altcoin rally, weakened by macroeconomic volatility. Faced with an uncertain context, investors refocus on the BTC, perceived as a refuge value.
The end of altcoins? Bitcoin seizes the market at 61.2%
The BTC continues to dominate the crypto market, strengthening its position in the face of altcoins. Indeed, the dominance of Bitcoin-that is to say its share of the total capitalization of the Crypto market-reached 61.2% on March 12, 2025. It is a notable increase compared to the hollow of 57% observed last December.
According to Matrixport, this rise in power of Bitcoin is clear proof that the recent altcoin rally was short -lived. In a recent publication, the company stressed that this outbreak of altcoins barely lasted a month, between the election of Donald Trump in November and early December, when a report on employment in the United States more solid than expected has moved the attention of the markets to a more restrictive federal reserve.
In other words, the euphoria around altcoins was quickly replaced by increased prudence of investors in the face of a more uncertain macroeconomic environment. Historically, the dominance of Bitcoin tends to decrease at the end of the bruise cycles, when capital begins to be distributed over altcoins. But this time, the trend is reversed.
Towards a return from the BTC golden age?
If this trend continues, the dominance of bitcoin could continue to climb in the coming months, to the detriment of altcoins. Especially since Queen Crypto is brought by major initiatives that could further strengthen her supremacy. In the United States, a bill aims to secure 1 million BTC over 20 years, stressing the strategic importance of long-term Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, actors like strategy aim to raise $ 21 billion to accumulate even more BTC. Finally, Michael Saylor plans a Bitcoin strategy at $ 100,000 billion, testifying to an increasing institutional adoption. With such projects, the BTC could consolidate its role as an ultimate asset, leaving altcoins to train.
Bitcoin therefore continues to impose its domination on the Crypto market, carried by a growing institutional adoption and ambitious initiatives such as Saylor's strategy. If this trend is maintained, the BTC could strengthen its status as an active refuge. Altcoins, on the other hand, are likely to stay back in the face of this growing supremacy.
