Bitcoin Dominance Surges Above 61% as Altcoins Lag Behind

What happened: Bitcoin's market dominance climbed above the critical 61% threshold as BTC led cryptocurrency market flows. Data shows Binance-listed altcoins represented 49% of trading volume in March, indicating concentrated trading activity despite Bitcoin's growing market share dominance.

Why it matters: Rising Bitcoin dominance typically signals institutional preference for the flagship cryptocurrency over alternative tokens. This trend suggests investors are rotating back into Bitcoin as a safer crypto asset, potentially setting up conditions for either continued BTC outperformance or an eventual altcoin catch-up rally.
