• The year 2023 has proved to be a positive one for all cryptocurrencies.
• Altcoins have shown a surge of 64% whereas BTC’s dominance has been down by 16%.
• Bitcoin (BTC) has been up by 4.4% in the last 24 hours.

The beginning of 2023 has proved positive, with Bitcoin being up by 3.9% and Ethereum being up by 0.9% in the last 24 hours. According to CoinGecko, the global cryptocurrency market cap has increased by 1.9% in the last 24 hours.

Apart from the increase in BTC and ETH, the market has also seen a surge in altcoin volume dominance. The volume has hit the highest of 64%, which has not been noticed since 2021.

The altcoin volume dominance is an indicator that calculates the proportion of a specific coin’s trading volume to the overall volume on the cryptocurrency market.

However, as compared to altcoins, Bitcoin’s dominance has decreased. It means that people are losing interest in trading Bitcoin. In other words, people find trading in altcoins more lucrative than in Bitcoin, which can be concerning for Bitcoin leading to its fall.

According to CryptoQuant’s valuation metrics, BTC and ETH started the year within an undervalued territory. BTC’s dominance has been at its lowest point at 16%, which is the lowest point since 2021.
