According to Glassnode’s latest “Major Asset Dominance” chart, Bitcoin dominance—after peaking at 64%—has now dropped to 61%. At the same time, Ethereum has climbed to a 9.7% share of the market, marking a +3% gain, while other altcoins have collectively surged to 22.3%, up by 2%.This movement comes amid a broader risk-on sentiment returning to markets. Bitcoin’s dominance rose steadily throughout the past year, peaking above 64%, as investors favored its relative safety during macroeconomic uncertainty. However, the recent decline in its share hints at renewed confidence in higher-beta crypto assets.Ethereum’s growth in market share likely reflects increasing traction from Layer 2 innovations, staking participation, and the anticipation of future network upgrades. Meanwhile, altcoins—especially in the AI, DeFi, and gaming sectors—are attracting speculative capital once again.Supporting this narrative, the Glassnode chart also shows a gradual reduction in stablecoin dominance. Investors appear to be rotating out of cash-equivalent assets and back into riskier plays, a behavior typical of early- to mid-stage bull market environments. .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;} READ MORE: Why Bitcoin Could Outshine Wall Street: Pantera CEO Explains While BTC still leads with over 61% dominance, the growing strength in ETH and altcoins could signal the early phases of a broader market rotation.

With risk appetite growing and capital beginning to diversify, the stage may be set for the next leg of altcoin momentum—pending Bitcoin’s ability to hold its current price levels.The post Altcoins Reclaim Market Share as Bitcoin Dominance Dips: Is Rotation Underway? appeared first on Coindoo.
