Over the past eight months, Bitcoin dominance has experienced a notable surge, while Ether’s market dominance has remained relatively stable at around 20% for almost a year. As of now, the combined market value of BTC and Ether constitutes approximately 70% of the total cryptocurrency market.

During a recent statement, Michael Saylor, predicted that BTC dominance will surpass 80% in the wake of increased regulatory actions against other digital assets. Saylor highlighted Bitcoin’s universal recognition as the industry’s digital commodity, while the SEC designates 68 cryptocurrencies as securities. Additionally he attributed the absence of significant institutional investment in the crypto space to the presence of numerous alternative cryptocurrencies causing confusion and anxiety.
