Bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market has reached 59.3% in 2025, marking a three-year high, but historical trends suggest potential declines in August and September.
Key Points
1. Bitcoin's dominance climbed to 59.3% in 2025, supported by ETF approvals and institutional interest.
2. Bitcoin's dominance previously dropped to 31.1% in 2018 due to the ICO boom but recovered to 60%-70% in 2019-2020.

5. Daily fluctuations in Bitcoin's dominance have become milder compared to previous years when swings of up to 16 percentage points were common.
