Spot trading patterns are shifting dramatically—and the numbers tell a fascinating story.



Recent on-chain data reveals that altcoins have captured half of total spot trading volume, completely reshuffling the market pecking order. Bitcoin's dominance has slipped to just 27%, while Ethereum holds steady at 23%.

What's driving this? Traders are increasingly gravitating toward higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities. The appetite for exposure beyond the blue-chip cryptocurrencies is undeniable. Whether this signals genuine fundamental strength in the altcoin ecosystem or simply reflects the eternal hunt for outsized gains remains the question every portfolio manager should be asking right now.

The concentration shift is unmistakable. Capital is actively hunting for alpha in riskier territory.
