Bitcoin‘s (BTC) dominance in the cryptocurrency market continues to increase despite its recent price drop, the upcoming block reward halving, and emerging reluctance against market risks. According to recent data, the price of the largest cryptocurrency is trading below the $61,400 threshold amid sales of risky assets caused by tough macroeconomic conditions, with its market dominance at 55.41%.

Bitcoin’s Decline Hits Altcoins Hard

As Bitcoin faces significant challenges and falls, Layer 1 protocols and many other altcoins experience even steeper declines. Notably, major Layer 1 altcoins like Solana (SOL) have fallen over 20% in the last 7 days, while Avalanche (AVAX) dropped by 26%. Similarly, Cardano (ADA) fell by 23% and Filecoin (FIL) by 30%.

Once highly favored, artificial intelligence altcoins also took their share of the market downturn. Data reveals that major AI altcoins have experienced double-digit declines over the last 7 days. Accordingly, popular AI altcoin Render Network’s RNDR fell by 13%, while Fetch.AI’s FET dropped by 24%. #Mini House
