<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-wallet-numbers-increase-despite-market-retreat/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a>‘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%.

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 <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/avax-price-analysis-a-detailed-look-at-the-market-trends/" data-wpel-link="internal">Avalanche</a> (AVAX) dropped by 26%. Similarly, Cardano (<a href="https://coin-turk.com/cardanoda-ada-uzman-gorusu-boga-dongusune-zemin-hazir" data-wpel-link="internal">ADA</a>) 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%.

The decline in Bitcoin and altcoins unsurprisingly led to an increase in the largest cryptocurrency‘s market dominance. Bitcoin’s dominance is known to serve as an important metric for detecting investor sentiment and trends in the altcoin market. Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance stands at 55.41%, having increased by approximately 1.35% over the last week and 2.5% over the last month.

Moreover, as the fourth block reward halving of Bitcoin approaches, searches for block reward halving on Google have significantly surpassed the interest during the 2020 halving, reaching an all-time high. According to data from Google Trends, searches for the block reward halving are considerably higher compared to Ethereum (ETH), Solana, or <a href="https://coin-turk.com/bu-olursa-doge-yukselir-dogecoin-2023-yorumlari" data-wpel-link="internal">Dogecoin</a> (<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/whale-movements-detected-in-dogecoin-transactions/" data-wpel-link="internal">DOGE</a>). 
Experts consider that Bitcoin’s resilience amid increasing market uncertainties and high expectations for the block reward halving have contributed to its rising dominance in the cryptocurrency market. The sharp decline in <a href="https://coin-turk.com/shiba-inu-icin-kritik-veriler-geldi-giderek-yavasliyor" data-wpel-link="internal">altcoins</a> indicates that investors and traders are turning to Bitcoin for protection.
