Amid this weekend's crypto crash, Bitcoin's market dominance dipped to nearly its lowest levels ever. At one point on Saturday, when the entire crypto market was suffering, the market dominance of the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap was just 38.32%.
The only time it has dipped that low this year was in May, when it hit 37.76%, according to CoinGecko data. And that's not far from its lowest dominance ever, in May 2018, when it briefly touched 33%. Throughout 2018, Bitcoin mostly hovered around 40%.
Market dominance refers to one cryptocurrency's share of total crypto market cap. The entire crypto market cap right now stands at $2.4 trillion, and Bitcoin's market cap is $924 billion.
This time last month, it was over $1 trillion.
Since Saturday, Bitcoin's dominance has picked up. At the time of writing, TradingView puts Bitcoin's dominance at 41%.
The selloff that started on Friday and accelerated Saturday hit the entire coin market, but hit Bitcoin particularly hard. Concerns over the Omicron COVID-19 strain, plus the Fed talking about a "higher risk of inflation" rattled traditional equities markets—and crypto was not exempt.

The market dominance of Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of just under a trillion dollars, plummeted this week to levels unseen since mid-2018.
Bitcoin now commands just 40.2% of the market, a stark change from a long period of mostly uninterrupted market dominance of well over 50% since summer 2019, and yearly highs of 69.7% on January 4.

Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has also suffered in the past few days, in terms of price. But its market dominance has actually gone up as people sell their Bitcoin. The latest figures from CoinGecko show Ethereum's dominance was 20% on Saturday—the highest it's been since 2018.
To put that in perspective, earlier this year, in March, it was as low as 11%. Some commentators in the crypto world have said that the "flippening"—when Ethereum's market cap grows bigger than Bitcoin's—could be well on its way.
The "Flippening", also known as the moment where Ethereum flips Bitcoin in market value, may very well happen in this bull market.

Just three days after debuting a multi-billion dollar fundraising plan to purchase Bitcoin, President Donald Trump’s Trump Media & Technology Group announced Friday that it has successfully raised $2.4 billion for its crypto treasury.
The funds were raised via an offering of common stock and convertible senior secure notes, the company said. Roughly 50 institutional investors participated in the sale, which produced $2.32 billion in net proceeds.
Those funds will now be used to create a Bitcoi...
How do you save an ailing publicly traded company in 2025? One answer, and an increasingly popular one at that, is: pivot to crypto—or more specifically, become a crypto treasury company.
The previously unknown online gambling marketer SharpLink Gaming did just that earlier this week, when it announced it had raised $425 million in investment to establish an Ethereum treasury. It was a notable departure from the more common route of building a Bitcoin treasury, with Ethereum being the second lar...
