Bitcoin's rising rate, or its share of the entire cryptocurrency market, is on the point of falling below 50% since seven months.
At press time, the world's biggest cryptocurrency accounts for 50.9% of their entire capitalization of the crypto market and fell as low as 50.54 on March 17, based on data from CoinMarketCap.
Earlier 2017, bitcoin's dominance speed was in excess of 70 percent, but it started to deflate as new cryptocurrencies were created and marketed to investors in initial coin offerings (ICOs), causing bitcoin's dominance rate to drop to a low of 32.48 percent on Jan. 13, 2018.

Ever since, Aug. 11 of this past year, nevertheless, bitcoin's share of this cryptocurrency marketplace hasn't fallen below 50 percent.
Having traded between $3,200 and $4,300 since Dec. 2018, bitcoin's current drop in market dominance can be attributed to a powerful performance from the wider altcoin market, constituted of all cryptocurrencies excluding bitcoin, rather than any substantial depreciation to its own market.
In the past 90 days , names like enjin (ENJ), binance coin (BNB) and litecoin (LTC) have seen significant price increases of 406, 181 and 97% respectively, according to statistics from Messari.
Because of this, the market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies excluding bitcoin has increased 33 percent since hitting a 2019 low of $51 billion on Feb. 6 into its existing worth of roughly $69 billion.
At precisely the exact same time period, bitcoin's market capitalization has also witnessed notable growth, but to a lesser extent compared to altcoin market. Since Feb. 6, bitcoin's market cap has increased from $59 billion into its present value of $71 billion -- a jump of 20 percent.

Bitcoin's decreasing dominance can be regarded as a sign the crypto markets are shifting into a"risk-on" environment where shareholders favor riskier resources, as altcoins are believed to be. The speed falling below 50 percent would be a greater sign of this kind of opinion coming to fruition.
As it stands, the entire capitalization of the wider cryptocurrency market records $140.6 billion, down 83 percent from its all-time high of $835 billion set on Jan. 7, 2018.
