Crypto Market Shifts- Bitcoin Gains Market Share as Geopolitical Risk Spikes
Crypto Market Shifts– Geopolitical instability is once again reshaping the crypto landscape. With tensions escalating between the US and Iran—fueled by military airstrikes and aggressive rhetoric from President Trump—investors are moving funds into safer crypto assets, primarily Bitcoin.
As of June 23, Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) has surged to over 65%, marking its highest level since February 2021. Data from TradingView confirms that BTC.D has now increased for seven consecutive quarters without a single pullback—highlighting growing investor trust in Bitcoin over altcoins.
Analysts Predict Further Dominance Growth
According to crypto analyst Rekt Capital, Bitcoin Dominance could soon reach 71%. This view is echoed by Nic, Co-founder of CoinBureau, and Raoul Pal, CEO of RealVision. They agree that any market correction will likely impact altcoins more severely than Bitcoin.
Historical patterns support this. When BTC.D peaked earlier in February 2025, major altcoins suffered sharp declines. A repeat of this scenario could mean additional losses across the altcoin market.
Altcoin Season Index Plunges
Further highlighting this trend, the Altcoin Season Index—which tracks altcoin performance versus Bitcoin—has dropped to 12, its lowest reading in over two years. For comparison, a score above 75 is typically required to confirm an “altcoin season.”
The current low index suggests that very few altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the past 90 days, reflecting reduced risk appetite and capital outflows from the broader altcoin market.
