On crypto market, a coin dominance is a ratio of its market cap to cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies. It's a great way to see how big a coin is relative to the whole crypto market — the value of everything is in comparison. It's calculated by dividing a coin market cap by the overall market cap of the top 125 coins and then multiplying it by 100. The result of these calculations and how it changes over time you can see on the dominance chart — calculated for you by TradingView.

Frequently asked questions


Dominance is a coin's market cap relative to the total crypto market. It's expressed as a percentage and measured in US dollars. Bitcoin dominance fluctuates over time, reflecting shifts in investor interest across the crypto market.

To observe relationships between cryptocurrencies and identify market leaders, explore the crypto market dominance charts and gain further insights from the crypto market cap charts.
A coin's dominance matters because it shows where capital is concentrated in the crypto market. Unlike price alone, dominance shows whether a coin is gaining or losing market share relative to others, helping traders identify its strength and shifts in investor sentiment.

Traders follow this metric to spot capital flows and changes in market conditions. Rising or falling dominance can signal when leadership is shifting between major coins and altcoins, supporting better timing in making informed decisions.

To find out what causes Bitcoin dominance changes, read the latest crypto news and explore the community trading ideas.
A decline in Bitcoin dominance may be caused by capital outflows or other coins gaining momentum. As a single metric, it does not indicate a potential price decline or growth.

A rising dominance of a coin means its relative value in the crypto market is increasing compared to other coins. Even during market declines, some cryptocurrencies may gain market share in percentage terms, as they become more attractive to investors at lower prices than other coins.

Traders and investors closely monitor these changes in relative values, as they indicate shifts in the market. You can see how coins' caps relate to each other on the crypto dominance chart. To track factors that influence the market, follow the latest news.
There are several factors that can drive a rise or decline in Bitcoin dominance:
- Smart money flows: Institutional investors can bring substantial capital into the market, driving rapid asset growth. Conversely, large sell-offs may contribute to bearish sentiment
- Promising technology: Coins with strong real-world use cases tend to attract capital, while newer or more efficient alternatives can draw market share away from older projects
- Regulation: Looser regulatory conditions often support market growth, while stricter rules can reduce liquidity and limit participation
- Market sentiment: In rising markets, optimism and momentum can increase demand across assets, encouraging investors to buy and pushing prices higher
