Shock Bitcoin Data Reveals Stark Ethereum, Litecoin And Ripple XRP Warning
Bitcoin's dominance, a measure of bitcoin's value compared to the wider cryptocurrency market, is hovering around 70% after climbing this year, according to CoinMarkCap and most traditional measures a level not seen since April 2017.
The bitcoin price has been treading water over recent months after surging higher earlier this year as many bitcoin rivals, including ethereum, litecoin and Ripple's XRP, struggled to make similar gains. However, the market may be even more weighted towards bitcoin than previously thought with shock research suggesting bitcoin's real dominance may be above 90%.
Researchers found that if bitcoin's dominance is adjusted for liquidity by calculating the volume-weighted market capitalization it soars to over 90%, reducing the rest of the cryptocurrecy market, including major tokens ethereum, Ripple's XRP and litecoin, to a combined less than 10%.
"Every day bitcoin stays ahead, it becomes less likely that any other cryptocurrency can compete as a money," wrote Bendik Norheim Schei, an analyst at Arcane Research, who carried out the study.
"That is important to understand not only for investors and those building out payment infrastructure, but also those building out solutions leveraging the security of a public blockchain."
Researchers found similar results when looking at the 10 exchanges identified by Bitwise as those having "real" (not wash trade) volume and if using volumes as recorded on CoinMarketCap, excluding stablecoins.
