Ethereum holding $1900, but the leader of the week remains XRP. However, Shiba Inu also made it for the day along with some other altcoins.

Altcoins Surpassing Bitcoin in Daily Traded Volume
The altcoins have gained significant momentum in the recent past, specifically after the partial victory of Ripple in a lawsuit against the SEC. Soon after this, XRP’s price soared by nearly 100% to reach very close to $1. Moreover, the trading volume of XRP exceeded $14 billion, surpassing the volume of Bitcoin. This indicates the rising interest of the traders in the altcoins as they keep a close watch over the external factors that may impact the value of Bitcoin and the altcoins.
Dropping Bitcoin Dominance
Bitcoin’s dominance has maintained a steep upswing ever since it flipped the lows around 43% in mid of March 2023. The levels raised to mark the yearly high at around 52% which indicated the beginning of the Bitcoin bull run. Unfortunately, the price dropped with a drop in the dominance which is currently lingering around 48.5% and the growth in the strength of the altcoins signals the possibility of an altcoin cycle could be nearby.
