The strength with which Bitcoin (BTC) has grown in the last year has been enormous, so much so that this cryptocurrency reached a value of approximately 60 thousand dollars, making other cryptocurrencies look much lower before this giant of the digital market. Although in the penultimate week of April its value dropped to 49 thousand dollars, causing its dominance to be fixed at 50%. According to CoinMarketCap, at the beginning of April BTC's dominance reached 70.68%, but at the end of the same month its dominance was reduced to 49.53%, causing other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNC) to increase their dominance in the same period, We all know that the BTC index measures the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies in general and that is why this loss of dominance presented by BTC helped other cryptocurrencies to better position themselves in the market. It is important to mention that it was the first time since 2018 that BTC lost so much ground in the market. As previously indicated ETH did the opposite and its dominance was increased by 15% in the overall market, this cryptocurrency has grown almost 4 percentage points since the beginning of this year, another cryptocurrency that improved its dominance was BNC who at the beginning of the year its share of dominance in the overall market had barely grown 0, 71% and in this month of April it increased to 4.17%, the rest of the cryptocurrencies that are not among the top ten have also increased their percentage of dominance from 11% at the beginning of the year to reach 18% to date.
