Bitcoin dominance is at a 85-day high of 60.3%

CryptoList Research ยท 18 Oct 2026

Bitcoin now accounts for 60.3% of the total crypto market. Here is what that number counts and what it leaves out.

Bitcoin is 60.3% of the total crypto market today โ€” its highest share in the 85 days we have on record, which has run between 56.1% and 60.3% over that window. Ethereum is 10.6%. The whole market is worth A$3.86 trillion.

Dominance is a ratio, so it moves when either side of it moves. A rise can mean Bitcoin gained, or that everything else lost more โ€” the figure alone does not distinguish between the two, which is why it is better read alongside the total market cap above than on its own.
