Altcoin Meaning: What It Is and Why Altcoins Are Sliding
The altcoin meaning is simple: any crypto that isn’t Bitcoin, now 40.04% of the market. CoinGecko data puts Bitcoin dominance at 59.96% today. That means every other coin combined, from Ethereum to Dogecoin to dollar stablecoins, adds up to roughly $1.02 trillion of a $2.54 trillion market, and over the past 30 days most of the big ones have fallen two to three times harder than Bitcoin.
