This increased level of confidence in digital assets is evident when assessing the recent performance of the Total Altcoin Market Cap. This demonstrates the cascading effect of investor capital, as increased <a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-dominance-sets-new-2023-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin dominance</a> tends to boost altcoin valuations relative to fiat currencies.
This was reflected in the past week as the current rise has spread beyond Bitcoin and into smaller-cap assets. Although the price momentum is becoming overheated in the short term, there are hints of long-term demand fueling the crypto rally.
Historically, crypto cycles have followed a pattern in which Bitcoin rallies first, and then capital gradually shifts to lower-cap and riskier bets.
However, as compared to the growth of altcoins, Bitcoin's market cap has expanded dramatically in 2023. This demonstrates an interesting market phenomenon in which the altcoin sector outperforms fiat currencies and traditional assets such as gold, while significantly underperforming Bitcoin.
