<p>Bitcoin has reached a near all-time high of $98,000, driven by significant developments in politics, institutional adoption, and new financial products. Simultaneously, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/">Bitcoin’s</a> dominance in the cryptocurrency market has climbed to 61.82%, its highest level since March 2021.</p> 
<h2 id="key-drivers-behind-bitcoin-s-surge">Key Drivers Behind Bitcoin’s Surge</h2> 
<h3 id="political-developments">Political Developments</h3> 
<p>President-elect Donald Trump’s public support for cryptocurrency has boosted market sentiment. His promises include establishing a national Bitcoin reserve and making the U.S. a global leader in cryptocurrency innovation.</p> 
<h3 id="institutional-investments">Institutional Investments</h3> 
<p>Institutional participation continues to grow. MicroStrategy, one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, recently raised $7 billion to expand its holdings. The company now owns 331,000 BTC, valued at approximately $32 billion.</p> 
<h3 id="bitcoin-dominance-hits-a-two-year-high">Bitcoin Dominance Hits a Two-Year High</h3> 
<p>The Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTC.D), which measures Bitcoin’s share of the cryptocurrency market, rose to 61.82%, the highest level since 2021. It subsequently dropped to 60.6% but remains a critical indicator of Bitcoin’s market influence.</p> 
<p>Historically, high dominance suggests Bitcoin is outperforming altcoins. However, when dominance decreases, altcoins often gain traction, leading to what is known as an “altcoin season,” where these smaller cryptocurrencies see significant price appreciation.</p>

<p>Bitcoin’s rise to $98,000 and dominance at 61.82% reflect its continued leadership in the market. However, the recent decline in dominance suggests potential opportunities for altcoins to gain market share, which could signal a shift in capital flow within the crypto ecosystem.</p>
