Mainstream altcoins like Lido DAO (LDO), EigenLayer (EIGEN), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Chainlink (LINK) dropped sharply in the last 24 hours as Bitcoin dominance surged to 56.5%. Bitcoin (BTC) itself fell 2.5% to $103,900, following a record high of $108,268 earlier this week.
This altcoin price decline reflects the growing dominance of Bitcoin, which often leads to altcoin losses in the short term. Analysts predict this trend may reverse soon, potentially sparking an altseason.
