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.
