Solana’s market share has climbed to 3.2%, while BNB’s dominance has held steady at 3.8% over the past two years. USDT’s dominance has declined from 7.8% in late 2022 to 5% today. The combined dominance of all other tokens has decreased significantly, from 33% in early 2021 to 16%.

Bitcoin dominance peaks often align with overall market tops.
