Altcoins Outpace Bitcoin in Recent Rally
Investors Shift Focus to Altcoins as Bitcoin Dominance Falls, driven by a $600B U.S.-Saudi trade deal and easing U.S. inflation on May 14, 2025. QCP Capital notes crypto outperformed stocks in this rally. Over 24 hours, the crypto market cap rose 1.2% to $3.37T. Bitcoin gained 0.2%, while Ethereum surged 4.5%, and Solana and Dogecoin each rose 4.1%, per data at 15:20 MSK.
Bitcoin Dominance Decline Signals Shift
Bitcoin dominance decline signals a shift, dropping 4.5% in a week to 62.3%, per TradingView. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s market share grew 28% to 9.5%, with altcoins holding over 27% of the market. QCP Capital spotted early “rotation signs” on May 13, noting rising altcoin investor interest. They attribute BTC’s lag to its dual role as “digital gold” and a risk-hedging tool, potentially keeping it range-bound.
Ethereum’s Growing Market Narrative
ETH is building a stronger narrative, per QCP. Renewed long-term options flows suggest Ethereum is positioning itself as a major investment opportunity. Analysts also see growth potential for crypto as Coinbase’s S&P 500 inclusion nears on May 19, a historical short-term catalyst. Investors Shift Focus to Altcoins as Bitcoin Dominance Falls, signaling a potential altcoin season.
