The month of July 2023 belonged particularly to altcoins with the ruling on the Ripple-SEC lawsuit and the consolidation of Bitcoin on the other side. During the rally in the altcoin space, Bitcoin transaction volume dominance fell 8% in July, according to data from Kaiko. On the other hand, altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) have been in the spotlight recently.
At just 27%, Bitcoin’s dominance across all of the top 25 centralized exchanges is currently at its lowest level since April 2023.

Offshore exchanges have experienced a significant decrease in Bitcoin (BTC) trading activity, due in part to an increase in altcoin trading volume in South Korea. Since early 2023, BTC’s dominance in the market has fallen by 20%. In the United States, altcoins have also gained popularity over the past month, indicating that regulatory action has not affected demand much, Kaiko reports.
Altcoin liquidity, which refers to how easily these alternative cryptocurrencies can be bought or sold, has been slightly up since early July. This data comes from Kaiko’s market depth, which looks at bids and asks for an asset on all centralized exchanges, providing a comprehensive view of the asset’s liquidity.
Since early July, the 1% market depth for the top 10 altcoins by market cap has grown by about $20 million.
