Bitcoin has maintained dominance over altcoins like Ethereum and others for the longest time. This dominance, although has declined over time, still helps the digital asset maintain its title as the most valuable cryptocurrency in the space. However, in only a matter of years, bitcoin\u2019s dominance on the market has declined by half, and according to FTX US President Brett Harrison, the encroachment is far from over.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview on CNBC\u2019s Squawk Box<\/a>, FTX.US president Brett Harrison shares his thoughts around the market, most notably the market dominance of bitcoin in relation to altcoin. The dominance of the pioneer cryptocurrency has been a slow but steady downtrend that has seen bitcoin\u2019s dominance ridden down to as low as 40% and Harrison expects this to continue.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Bitcoin Hashrate Climbs To New High As Price Recovers Above $42,000<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The President told Squawk Box that other digital assets like Ethereum and Solana will continue to take up more market share from the asset.
