For the past few days, the crypto market has been wilder than ever, with investors scrambling to catch the next wave. Bitcoin (BTC) took a joyride above $70,000 on Monday, but is now clinging to a precarious hold above $68,000 during Asia’s trading session.
But wait, there’s more! Altcoins are making a move, and even meme coins are catching fire. Is this a sign of a major shift? Dive deeper to find out!
Meme Coins Shine Bright
While Bitcoin grabbed the spotlight, other digital currencies, led by Ethereum (ETH), saw a slight dip in the past day. But amidst this, there’s been a frenzy of speculation around meme coins like Pepe (PEPE), Bonk (BONK), dogwifhat (WIF), and Floki Inu (FLOKI), all showing positive signs recently.
These meme coins are making waves in the crypto world, capturing attention with their recent performances.
BTC Dominance Dips
After much anticipation, Bitcoin’s dominance in the market seems to be fading, signaling what experts call the “macro altseason.” This shift suggests that more money is flowing into alternative cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum has been on a winning streak, surpassing Bitcoin in recent weeks. This surge comes after the approval of spot Ether ETFs in the United States and Hong Kong, boosting investor confidence.
Additionally, the ETH/BTC pair is currently testing upper limits, indicating a possible uptrend for Ethereum.
Changes in Wallet Dynamics
According to an on-chain data analysis provided by Santiment, Bitcoin whales, with wallet balances between 10k and 10k BTCs, have declined in the last two months. Similarly, Bitcoin transactions valued at least $100k have significantly declined in the past two months.
On the other hand, Ethereum wallets with at least 10k Ether have added nearly 22 million ETH units in the past 14 months. Similar behavior has been observed with XRP wallets containing at least 10 million units as they have added 3.17 billion units in the past 16 months.
