Bitcoin Dominance Slips to 55% as Altcoins and Ethereum Surge

Altcoins Gain Momentum as Bitcoin’s Market Dominance Falls to 55%

  • Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market has dropped by 7% to 55%.
  • Several altcoins, including ONDO, CFX, and IMX, are set for key events such as token unlocks and protocol updates.
  • Ethereum and Solana are beginning to see increased interest from both institutional and retail investors.
  • Analysts highlight the importance of spot market demand for altcoins compared to gains driven by trading derivatives.
  • Bitcoin may still climb to a new record high, with CoinCodex predicting a price of $127,419 by December 2.

Bitcoin has seen its market dominance fall to 55%, down 7% from its recent peak, according to current crypto market data. This change could let other crypto assets, called altcoins, increase in value as trading activity grows. The decline in Bitcoin’s share is viewed as a signal that traders may be seeking new opportunities among higher-risk alternatives.

Several leading altcoins, including ONDO, CFX, and IMX, are scheduled for significant technical changes and token releases in September 2025. Analysts note that these events, such as hard forks—software updates that change or upgrade a blockchain—and unlocks where new tokens become available for trade, may influence how these assets perform even with broad market fluctuations. Their price movement will depend on how traders and investors respond to these changes.

Interest in cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana is also increasing, with both institutional and retail investors moving more capital into altcoins. Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin in the past month, and the drop in Bitcoin’s dominance could boost altcoins further. According to reporting from The Block, a key factor for these assets will be if they attract real buying in the spot market, not just activity from trading contracts called derivatives.

Additionally, some investors and analysts continue to see positive trends for Bitcoin itself. CoinCodex projects that Bitcoin’s price will enter another upward phase, reaching a possible all-time high of $127,419 by December 2, which would represent an increase of almost 15% from current levels.

Despite ongoing market shifts, whether traders move mainly into altcoins or back to Bitcoin will depend on new product launches, technical updates, and the type of trading demand seen in the coming weeks.
