Bitcoin’s prominence in the cryptocurrency sector has reached a three-year peak, primarily influenced by strong interest in U.S. ETFs.
According to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a>, it accounted for almost 55% of the $2.4 trillion market for virtual currencies, a level last seen in April 2021. The major coins following Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) in market share are Ether (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>), stablecoin <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/tether/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/tether/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether</a>, Binance’s <a href="https://crypto.news/price/bnb/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bnb/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB</a>, and Solana (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>).
Recently launched U.S. spot ETFs from companies such as BlackRock and Fidelity Investments have quickly become notable successes, <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-outflows-coinshares-confidence/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">accumulating</a> nearly $56 billion in assets. The influx of investment briefly pushed BTC to a record high of $73,798 in mid-March.
Although the coin’s price has since fallen by approximately 6%, smaller digital assets have experienced a sharper decline of over 30%, influenced by diminishing prospects of a looser U.S. monetary policy that typically encourages speculative investments.

“Allocations to the U.S. ETFs by institutional investors have resulted in Bitcoin performing very strongly relative to the rest of the market,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bcelermajer/?originalSubdomain=au" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bcelermajer/?originalSubdomain=au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Benjamin Celermajer</a>, director at digital-asset investment manager Magnet Capital.

The surge has also uplifted <a href="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrencies</a> like Polygon, Cardano, and Dogecoin.
The market is also focused on the upcoming <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-halving/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-halving/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">halving</a> event around April 20, which is expected to cut the new supply of the token by half. While past halvings have spurred price increases, the impact of the upcoming event remains uncertain, given the coin’s recent peak performance.
