Bitcoin’s dominance surges to over 60% in 2025! Can it reach 70%?

Bitcoin's market dominance has surged past 60% in 2025, a level not seen since 2021. However, this milestone carries greater significance now due to the exponential growth of the cryptocurrency market, which has expanded from approximately 3,000–4,000 active projects in 2021 to millions today. Despite the proliferation of altcoins, Bitcoin maintains a commanding share of the market.​ In contrast, altcoins like Ethereum have underperformed. Industry experts like Arthur Hayes predict Bitcoin's dominance could rise to 70%, citing its appeal as a hedge against inflation amid potential U.S. monetary policy shifts. Analyst Rekt Capital suggests that a much-anticipated "altseason" may commence once Bitcoin's dominance peaks and begins to decline, historically around the 71% level.
