Solana dominates 50% of DEX volume and surpasses Ethereum. Analysis of this rise to power that shakes up the crypto ecosystem.
The crypto market is undergoing a profound transformation, and Bitcoin is more than ever the central element of the digital financial landscape. While previous cycles saw altcoins capitalize on BTC's rise to gain ground, the current dynamics are taking an unprecedented turn. Institutional investors are massively favoring Bitcoin, neglecting thousands of tokens that continue to proliferate. Its dominance index surged by 15.5% in January 2025, reaching nearly 59%, a level that illustrates a clear imbalance between BTC and the rest of the market. This rise to power is not solely due to the influx of capital. Political decisions, ETF performances, and the exhaustion of altcoins are contributing to reinforce the supremacy of the king of crypto. In light of these transformations, is Bitcoin on the verge of permanently detaching itself from the traditional crypto market?
The integration of bitcoin into the reserves of central banks deeply divides economic actors. On one side, some governors advocate for a diversification of assets to adapt monetary strategies to a changing world. On the other, the European Central Bank (ECB) takes a firm stance and categorically rejects any legitimacy of bitcoin as a store of value. This debate has taken on a new dimension following Christine Lagarde's statements. When asked at a press conference, the ECB president abruptly dismissed speculation, asserting that bitcoin did not meet any of the required criteria to be included in the central banks' reserves: "liquid, safe, and secure." This stance contrasts with that of the governor of the Czech National Bank, Aleš Michl, who is open to the idea of exploring new asset classes. This growing divergence illustrates the rift between a conservative approach to the financial system and a more pragmatic vision, championed by some decision-makers who seek to anticipate upcoming monetary transformations.
