According to coingecko.com (CG), on Dec. 31, 2022, ETH’s dominance was around 17.4% and the overall crypto economy was worth $828 billion.

While CG statistics show BTC’s dominance rating on that website was 38.5% and it is now at 37.6% on Jan. 11, 2023. Ethereum’s market dominance has seen a steady increase in recent days as both crypto market aggregation websites show this is the case. The trend of decreasing dominance of bitcoin is also consistent in the data provided by both websites.
