Bitcoin Takes Lead: Dominance Surpasses 63% in May 2025

Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market surged to a record high of 63.63% in May 2025, exceeding its previous all-time high set in early 2021. This significant shift in market power came after a period of substantial capital flow towards Bitcoin and a notable decline in altcoin performance. Analysts attribute this upward trend to the increasing adoption by institutional investors and a continued rise in decentralized finance (DeFi) activity.
