BITCOIN MARKET SHARE
Is crypto's value sitting in Bitcoin, other coins, or cash?
Bitcoin's slice of the whole crypto market, and whether value is concentrating in Bitcoin, in other coins, or in cash-like stablecoins.
Bitcoin's slice of the whole crypto market
Bitcoin's share of the whole crypto market over the last six months, one reading a week up to the latest. These weekly readings are not its full history.
Right now
Bitcoin holds 60.1% of the whole crypto market, and it is holding steady.
Its share is little changed from 60.4% a month ago, while the stablecoin slice grew from 11.4% to 12.9%. Bitcoin's share is steady, but a growing slice is sitting in stablecoins. A quietly cautious market.
The split today
Here is how crypto's value is split right now. Over the last six months, the biggest shift is Bitcoin's own slice, which shrank from 60.5% to 60.1%.
Against the last six months
Across the last 26 weekly readings, about six months, Bitcoin's share ranged from 58.4% to 60.6%. Today's 60.1% sits near the high end of that range.
The lowest was 58.4%, at reading 7 of 26, and the highest 60.6%, at reading 23 of 26.
What it means
Bitcoin's share doesn't tell you where the price is headed. It tells you where crypto's value is concentrated right now and which way it is drifting.
The slice sitting in stablecoins is the tell: when it grows alongside Bitcoin, caution is winning; when it shrinks while Bitcoin rises, conviction is.
Understanding
Bitcoin Dominance
Where it stands today
Bitcoin Dominance is 60.1% of the market as of .
What is Bitcoin dominance?
Bitcoin dominance is Bitcoin's share of the total value of all crypto combined. In the early days Bitcoin was almost the entire market. As thousands of other coins launched, its share fell, by more than half at the height of the rush into smaller coins.
What does a rising or falling share mean?
When Bitcoin's share is rising, it often means investors are getting cautious and concentrating in the largest, most established option. Think of it as a flight to quality, the way people move from stocks to government bonds when they get nervous, except here Bitcoin is the safer choice within crypto. When Bitcoin's share is falling, people are feeling bolder and chasing bigger returns in smaller, riskier coins.
Why watch the stablecoin slice?
Stablecoins are coins built to hold a steady value, usually one dollar, and they are the tell most people miss. When the share sitting in stablecoins grows, money is not just leaving other coins, it is leaving crypto's swings and parking in cash. A growing stablecoin share while Bitcoin rises means fear is driving the shift. When stablecoins shrink while Bitcoin rises, money is actively choosing Bitcoin, which is conviction rather than fear.
Is there a pattern to where the money goes?
There is a rough rotation that tends to repeat. Bitcoin leads first and its share rises. Then Bitcoin steadies and money moves to Ethereum, then to larger coins, then to smaller ones, until speculation peaks, Bitcoin's share bottoms and the cycle resets. When confidence fades, money heads back to Bitcoin and cash. Where the split sits hints at roughly where we are in that loop.
Can a coin lose share without anyone selling?
Yes. A coin can lose share just by falling in price, even when no money actually leaves it. A shift in the split is not always money on the move.
Why does the chart cover six months?
This page reads the last 26 weekly readings, about six months. It is not Bitcoin's full history, which has swung far more widely, from almost the whole market in the early days to much less at the height of the rush into other coins.
