Bitcoin Dominance — Live Chart & Daily History

Bitcoin dominance is BTC’s share of the entire crypto market’s capitalization — the single cleanest read on whether capital is concentrating in Bitcoin (risk-off, early-cycle accumulation) or rotating out into ETH and altcoins (risk-on, alt-season conditions). Information, not financial advice.

Reading bitcoin dominance

Rising BTC dominance historically reflects capital concentrating in Bitcoin: risk-off phases, early bull-cycle accumulation, or alt-market washouts.

Falling BTC dominance historically reflects capital rotating down the risk curve into ETH and altcoins — the precondition traders watch for broad alt-season strength. Pair it with the ETH/BTC ratio and the Altcoin Season Index for the full rotation picture. Descriptive context only — not a forecast, not a recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bitcoin dominance?
Bitcoin dominance is Bitcoin’s market capitalization divided by the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies, expressed as a percentage. At 60% dominance, $60 of every $100 in crypto sits in BTC.
Why does BTC dominance matter for altcoins?
Dominance is a rotation gauge. When it falls while the total market cap holds or rises, capital is moving from Bitcoin into altcoins — historically the backdrop for alt-season. When it rises, capital is concentrating in BTC and altcoins typically underperform.
Where does this dominance history come from?
The current split comes from CoinGecko’s free global data. The daily history chart is Liquid State’s own first-party series — we record one dominance snapshot per UTC day, so the chart deepens every single day. Historical dominance data is paywalled at most providers.
What counts as "other" in the composition bar?
Everything outside BTC, ETH, and the major stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI and peers) — i.e., the long tail of altcoins. Stablecoin share is broken out separately because it behaves like dry powder rather than directional exposure.
