About
What it answers, and for whom.
Bitcoin dominance is bitcoin's market cap divided by the market cap of every crypto asset together. It rises when bitcoin outgrows the rest of the market and falls when other assets grow faster, or when bitcoin's price falls more than theirs. Traders read it to judge whether money is concentrating in bitcoin or spreading out.
Both halves of the ratio are built here from parts you can check: bitcoin's supply from its issued block subsidies, ether's from issuance minus burn, stablecoins' from their token contracts and prices from on-chain oracles. The total market cap of every other asset still needs an off-chain reference, and the dashboard names it.
Read dominance with its parts. Stablecoins count in the denominator, so when holders move into stablecoins, bitcoin dominance can change without any change in bitcoin itself; the dashboard shows it with and without them. Each day's ratio opens to the supply and price reads behind it.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Bitcoin market cap is the cumulative block subsidy through the day's last block, times the Chainlink BTC/USD price at the matching Ethereum block.
- Ether market cap uses supply rebuilt from issuance minus burned base fees; stablecoin market cap is the native supply of USDT, USDC and other tracked stablecoins on every covered chain.
- Total crypto market cap is the sum over every asset in the market cap registry, plus an off-chain reference total for assets outside it, labelled as such on every chart.
- Dominance excluding stablecoins divides by the same total less stablecoin market cap, so the two views can be compared on the same day.

Questions
Questions people ask.
What is bitcoin dominance?
Bitcoin dominance is bitcoin's share of the total market value of all crypto assets: its market cap divided by the total crypto market cap. It is a ratio, so it moves with both bitcoin and everything else.
Why does bitcoin dominance go up?
Dominance rises when bitcoin's market cap grows faster than the rest of the market, or falls less than it in a decline. It can also rise when other assets lose value or when large tokens drop out of the total.
Do stablecoins affect bitcoin dominance?
Yes. Stablecoins are part of the total market cap, so a rise in stablecoin supply lowers bitcoin's share even if bitcoin's price is unchanged. The dashboard shows dominance with and without stablecoins for that reason.
What is ETH dominance?
ETH dominance is ether's market cap divided by the total crypto market cap, computed the same way as bitcoin dominance. Here it uses ether supply rebuilt from issuance and burn, read from the chain.
Why do bitcoin dominance figures differ between sources?
Sources use different totals. Some include every listed token, some only the largest few hundred and some leave out stablecoins. This dashboard names the assets in its denominator, so the definition behind every value is clear.
- Market dominance
- One asset's market cap as a share of the total market cap of all the crypto assets counted.
- Stablecoin dominance
- The combined market cap of stablecoins as a share of total crypto market cap, often read as the part of the market held in cash-like tokens.
