The crypto market is showing an interesting shift right now. Altcoins have climbed to roughly 50% of total trading volume, which actually puts them ahead of both Bitcoin and Ethereum individually. Bitcoin's sitting at around 27% while Ethereum holds 23%. What's happening here is pretty clear—traders are rotating their capital into those higher-beta assets, chasing bigger moves and more volatility. It's the kind of market behavior you typically see when investors feel confident enough to take on more risk and hunt for outsized returns beyond the top two cryptocurrencies.
