I noticed that Bitcoin's dominance has really decreased over the past few months. In January 2026, it was around 58%, but now in April, we've already dropped to 57%. It continues the trend we've been observing for a while.
Looking at the history, it's interesting: September 2025 was 57%, December 2024 at 54%, and March 2024 at 52%. We can clearly see that Bitcoin's market share has been steadily decreasing for years. Even in January 2022, it was already at 38%, and before that in 2021 and 2018, it was even lower.
What’s striking is that even with all the Bitcoin rallies we've seen, its dominance continues to slide. Altcoins are really gaining ground. It'll be interesting to see if it stabilizes or keeps decreasing.
