Spot

<p><strong>Bitcoin (BTC)</strong> dominance continues to rise, but what’s driving this surge? According to a recent report from <strong>Kaiko Research</strong>, Bitcoin’s market dominance has reached 54.9% of the total cryptocurrency market, the highest level since April 2021.</p> 
<h2 id="bitcoin-s-dominance-in-times-of-market-uncertainty">Bitcoin’s Dominance in Times of Market Uncertainty</h2> 
<p>This increase reflects Bitcoin’s ability to outperform other digital assets, especially the top 50 altcoins, during times of market uncertainty. For example, during the sharp market sell-off on August 5th, triggered by Japan’s unexpected interest rate hike, Bitcoin maintained positive <strong>cumulative volume delta (CVD)</strong> in U.S. exchanges, a key indicator of buying and selling pressure. Meanwhile, altcoins experienced heavy selling pressure, reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a “safe haven” for investors during turbulent periods.</p> 
<p><strong>Kaiko Research</strong> analysts noted that between August 4th and 6th, Bitcoin’s CVD remained strongly positive, while the top five altcoins faced widespread selling on major exchanges. The analysts stated, “While altcoins suffered sharp declines, Bitcoin’s ability to maintain positive buying pressure strengthened its status as the preferred asset during sell-offs.”</p>

<h2 id="spot-bitcoin-etfs-fueling-institutional-interest">Spot Bitcoin ETFs Fueling Institutional Interest</h2> 
<p>Another key factor boosting Bitcoin’s dominance is the launch of <strong>spot Bitcoin ETFs</strong> in the U.S. in January 2024. According to the report, the introduction of these ETFs attracted significant institutional interest, as many investors view Bitcoin as a less risky and more investable asset compared to altcoins. This influx of institutional capital has helped Bitcoin solidify its position, even as altcoins continue to face higher volatility and risk premiums in a challenging macroeconomic environment.</p> 
<h2 id="altcoins-vulnerable-to-market-volatility">Altcoins Vulnerable to Market Volatility</h2> 
<p>While Bitcoin gains ground, altcoins remain vulnerable to broader market fluctuations. The <strong>Kaiko Research</strong> report highlighted that during the August sell-offs, the top five altcoins by market cap experienced significant selling pressure, and the uncertainty surrounding these assets persists.</p>
