Following the Terra LUNA and UST fallout, digital currency markets have dropped in value as the crypto economy dropped 6.93% from $1.356 trillion on May 22, to today’s $1.262 trillion. Amid the market carnage, bitcoin’s market dominance has increased to 43.8%, reaching the highest value since October 30, 2021.

The rise in market dominance follows the recent Terra blockchain fiasco that caused a significant amount of value to leave the crypto economy. For example, amid LUNA’s and UST’s death spiral and the crypto market carnage on May 10, 2022, archived dataindicates BTC dominance was 39.4%, while ethereum (ETH) dominance was 18.4%.

Bitcoin transaction fees are also much lower as the cost per average BTC transfer is 0.000068 BTC or $1.98 per transaction, while the average ETH transaction fee is 0.0045 ETH or $8.06 per transfer. While ETH’s median transaction fee is 0.0022 ETH or $3.84 today, BTC’s median-sized transfer cost is 0.000026 BTC or $0.753 per transaction. As ETH dominance sinks and BTC dominance rises, a number of other alternative assets have faltered in value and have lost significant market cap dominance. For example, on September 4, 2021, XRP’s dominance was 2.53% and today XRP dominance is only 1.51%. One alternative crypto asset that has seen its dominance rise is tether (USDT) as USDT’s market valuation dominance was above 3% on September 4, 2021, and today it’s 5.78%.
