Market Dominance
Market dominance is a measure of a specific cryptocurrency's market capitalization relative to the total market capitalization of the entire crypto asset class. It is often used to assess the influence of a dominant asset, such as Bitcoin, over the rest of the market.
High dominance indicates that the asset is viewed as a safe haven or a primary benchmark for the sector. Changes in dominance can signal shifts in investor sentiment between major assets and altcoins.
It is a key metric for understanding the structural hierarchy of the crypto market. Analysts track it to identify broader trends and cycles.
