Matrixport stated in an article on the X platform that, driven by multiple favorable factors, Bitcoin's market dominance steadily increased from 50% to 60% in 2024.

More and more traditional finance (Trade Fi) investors are allocating Bitcoin through ETFs, and the share of CME Bitcoin futures open positions in the total Bitcoin futures trading volume is also growing significantly. At the same time, altcoins are limited by declining user activity and pressure to unlock tokens, in stark contrast to the explosive growth of the 2020-2021 DeFi boom period. Today, investors are seizing the opportunity to gradually move crypto assets to Bitcoin, which validates Michael Saylor's view: “The only option is the best option.”

13. Split Capital founder: US elections are expected to have a greater impact on altcoins
Smaller cryptocurrencies such as Doge and Solana have generally underperformed as Bitcoin for most of this year, but they may become the riskiest cryptocurrencies after the US presidential election is over. Zaheer Ebtikar, founder of cryptocurrency fund Split Capital, said: “For Bitcoin, the election results are unimportant. But if Harris wins, altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin and Ethereum) probably won't bounce back that much; they are the biggest winners or losers in this election.” Ebtikar added that if Harris wins, it could mean that the regulatory crackdown on the crypto industry will be stronger, while Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to survive as these two cryptocurrencies are considered more decentralized than others. During the campaign, Republican candidate Trump took a strong pro-cryptocurrency stance, while Democratic opponent Harris promised to support the establishment of a regulatory framework for digital assets. Cryptocurrency supporters generally believe that a Trump win would be more beneficial to the crypto industry. Other traders believe that regardless of the election results, it will generally be good news for the cryptocurrency market. Shiliang Tang, president of Arbelos Markets, said: “In the medium term, we think the market will continue to rise no matter who wins, as we will shift our focus from the election back to macroeconomics and the Federal Reserve.”
