Bitcoin is now firmly in control of the cryptocurrency market, accounting for 73% of the total market share, a 6% increase in 2024 alone, according to analytics from Bitcoin.
Investors have been steadily shifting from Ethereum to Bitcoin, driving the ETH/BTC ratio to its lowest point since April 2021.
While Ethereum has only seen a modest 0.2% increase since January, Bitcoin has surged by 43% this year, reinforcing its dominance. Stablecoins, particularly USDT, are also seeing growth. USDT’s market cap hit an all-time high of $118 billion, and USDC has expanded from $24 billion to $35 billion, pushing stablecoins’ market share from 7% to 10%. These gains reflect growing confidence in the broader crypto market despite the relatively slow pace overall.

Bitcoin is now testing its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) for the third time since August, and a breakout at this level could serve as a major bullish indicator.

If Bitcoin follows historical cycles, we may see a market top by October 2025. Some analysts suggest that if Bitcoin’s Long-Term Power Law remains accurate, the next peak could push the price to an astounding $400,000.
