Why does Bitcoin dominance matter now?

Bitcoin’s market share peaked above 66% earlier in summer and has eased to around 58%, giving altcoins room to gain. Yet ETF flows show that when institutional money returns, it often favors Bitcoin as the core holding, reinforcing longer-term dominance despite short-term altcoin rallies.

How should investors read weekly ETF flow swings?

Weekly ETF flows are useful for gauging institutional sentiment but can be volatile. Look for multi-week trends rather than single-week spikes. Key indicators: cumulative net assets, repeat inflows into the same product, and alignment with broader macro drivers.
