Bitcoin dominance has hit a three-day low, even as BTC is trading at new highs against the US dollar.
Bitcoin’s share of the overall crypto market was 46.4%, down from 47.6% yesterday.
What would happen once Bitcoin hits all-time highs has been an open question, with a famous trader on Twitter. Tweeter Tuesday that it would take “serious brain damage” to buy altcoins “just before bitcion launches into price discovery.”
But the decline in Bitcoin dominance shows that altcoins are outperforming BTC, at least for now.
