Bitcoin’s Value Rises 37.2% in 30 Days, Pushing Dominance Level Above 40%
Bitcoin jumped above the $23,000 zone on Jan. 21 and the crypto asset’s value is now 37.2% higher than it was 30 days ago. The increase has pushed BTC’s dominance level above the 40% region. According to coinmarketcap.com (CMC) data, BTC’s dominance level on Jan. 21 is around 42.4%.
The leading crypto asset’s dominance level rose above the 40% region after the first week of January 2023. The crypto economy aggregator coingecko.com (CG) indicates that bitcoin’s dominance is around 41.1% on Jan. 21.
