February was a volatile month for cryptocurrencies, which saw a rise in prices followed by correction and then resulting in a fall, all in one month. 75% of Binance users however still remain long-term bullish on BTC based on the rising hash rate and upcoming halving.
This roller coaster ride, however, had some big swings in BTC price and its dominance, showing a “strong month” for altcoins. Crypto exchange, in its latest report, revealed that it recorded some of the “highest buy flows” in recent months but not only in bitcoin but also in altcoins.
The upswing seen in altcoin trading last month had the trading dominance of BTC on Binance falling from 40% to 27% in February, one of its sharpest month-over-month changes — not seen since June 2019.
“If this trend were to continue, it would signify a greater appetite for altcoins from market participants.”
