币界网报道:Bitcoin's market dominance has dropped by 10% in 2022 as altcoins gain traction, according to recent data. The leading cryptocurrency now accounts for approximately 40% of the total crypto market capitalization, down from 50% at the start of the year. Analysts attribute this shift to growing investor interest in alternative blockchain projects and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Ethereum and other smart contract-enabled cryptocurrencies have particularly benefited from this trend. Market observers note that while Bitcoin remains the flagship digital asset, the diversification into altcoins reflects maturing investor strategies and broader adoption of blockchain technology across various sectors.
