Bitcoin

Last week, <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> reached a multi-month high of over $26,000; however, it has since retraced and settled between $24,000 and $25,000. In the last 24 hours, most cryptocurrencies have seen significant losses, increasing BTC’s market dominance to levels not seen since June 2022.About a week ago, Bitcoin’s price performance hit rock bottom as it fell below $20,000 for the first time in two months. Yet, Bitcoin boomed as the financial crisis in the US and Europe deepened.It began its ascent over $22,000 and eventually reached about $24,000. Nonetheless, the surge persisted for hours after that, sending BTC to a high of almost $26,500 (on Bitstamp) and setting a new nine-month high.At this time, the bears made themselves known, and the asset’s upward momentum was halted. Instead, they drove it south, and bitcoin dropped all the way below $24,000 yesterday. The <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/tag/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> has recovered some of its value and is now <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/glossary/trading/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">trading</a> at about $25,000. Despite its supremacy over cryptocurrencies, its market cap has remained below $500 billion. There hasn’t been this degree of domination since last June.<h2 id="header-0">Altcoins plunge</h2>Other cryptocurrencies also soared mid-week to new local heights, but most have gone red today. The price of ether has dropped by close to 1% as Ripple also retraced by a comparable proportion as of writing. Additional losses came from Cardano, Polygon, Dogecoin, Solana, Polkadot, Shiba Inu, Litecoin, and Avalanche, recording a decline of between 1% and 8% across the board within the same period despite some recording good weekly gains.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/8510819871474617bac51c4f3cb4ab89.png" />Altcoins snapshot | Source: <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a>Only Binance Coin stands out as the asset showed a daily increase among the top 10 altcoins, trading at $317 as of writing.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/a138621545784658b55b9f6ca3060aac.png" />BNB 24-hour chart | Source: <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bnb/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a>The total value of the <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency market</a>, as measured by CMC, has dropped to $1.09 trillion, almost $70 billion less than its all-time high established on Tuesday.<h2 id="header-1">Why is BTC dominating?</h2>Amid the recent banks’ saga in the US, many investors seem to question the credibility of banks with many looking into Bitcoin despite having not-so-much crypto knowledge. This rise in BTC trust can be attributed to the recent statements by many crypto personals that Bitcoin was built to thrive under such.According to Novogratz in a recent CNBC interview, Bitcoin is going to thrive now more than ever as Satoshi’s goal with Bitcoin was to kill the uncertainity presented by banks.
