Bitcoin Dominance Surges to 61% Amid Rising ETF Inflows

Bitcoin's price has reached new heights, with the largest cryptocurrency by market cap trading near $80,000 after a 2.3% weekly gain. This surge in value is accompanied by an increase in Bitcoin's dominance, which has climbed to 61%, a level not seen since November 2025.

The rising dominance of Bitcoin suggests that investors are seeking stability and safety during uncertain times. This is evident from the Fear and Greed Index, which currently sits at 40, firmly in 'Fear' territory. The index had moved from 'Neutral' to 'Fear' in just seven days, indicating a significant shift in market sentiment.

The Ethereum ETFs have also seen a reversal of outflows, with $356 million in net inflows over the past week. This is a significant development, as it suggests that institutional capital is flowing back into Ethereum, potentially indicating a change in investor sentiment towards the second-largest cryptocurrency.
