The cryptocurrency markets are showing signs of consolidation. Bitcoin dominance, which is a measure of bitcoin’s share of the entire cryptocurrency markets, has increased from 46% this time last year to more than 54% today.
It suggests a lack of risk appetite for more volatile, less liquid altcoins despite recent noise surrounding meme coins.
