On March 12, 2025, Bitcoin's market dominance reached 52.3%, up from 48.9% at the start of the year, according to data from CoinMarketCap (source: CoinMarketCap, March 12, 2025). This rise in dominance has been consistent since 2022, marking one of the longest periods of sustained growth on record, as reported by IntoTheBlock (source: IntoTheBlock, March 12, 2025). However, despite the increase in market dominance, Bitcoin's share of active users has declined, with on-chain activity gravitating more towards Ethereum and other Layer 1 blockchains. Ethereum's active user base increased by 15% over the last six months, reaching 3.2 million daily active addresses on March 11, 2025, as per Etherscan (source: Etherscan, March 11, 2025). This shift in user activity highlights a divergence between market dominance and actual usage within the crypto ecosystem.

The trading implications of Bitcoin's rising market dominance are multifaceted. On March 12, 2025, Bitcoin's price was recorded at $68,420, a 2.5% increase from the previous day, as per CoinGecko (source: CoinGecko, March 12, 2025). This rise in price was accompanied by a trading volume of $32.5 billion on major exchanges, up 10% from the average daily volume of the past month, according to TradingView (source: TradingView, March 12, 2025). The BTC/USDT trading pair saw the highest volume, with $18.2 billion traded in the last 24 hours, followed by BTC/ETH at $5.4 billion (source: Binance, March 12, 2025). The increased dominance and trading volume suggest a bullish sentiment among traders, potentially driven by institutional interest and the anticipation of upcoming halving events, as reported by CryptoQuant (source: CryptoQuant, March 12, 2025). However, the decline in active users may signal a potential shift in investor focus towards other assets with higher utility and engagement.

Technical indicators for Bitcoin on March 12, 2025, show a bullish trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 67.5, indicating strong buying pressure, as per TradingView (source: TradingView, March 12, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was also positive, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, suggesting a continuation of the upward trend (source: TradingView, March 12, 2025). On-chain metrics further support this bullish sentiment, with the Bitcoin Hashrate reaching a new all-time high of 520 EH/s on March 10, 2025, according to Blockchain.com (source: Blockchain.com, March 10, 2025). The increase in hashrate indicates growing network security and miner confidence. Additionally, the 30-day average transaction volume on the Bitcoin network was 2.3 million transactions per day, up 8% from the previous month, as reported by Glassnode (source: Glassnode, March 12, 2025). These technical and on-chain indicators suggest that Bitcoin may continue its upward trajectory in the short term, despite the decline in active users.

Regarding AI-related developments, the launch of a new AI-powered trading platform on March 10, 2025, by QuantConnect has seen a significant impact on AI-related tokens (source: QuantConnect, March 10, 2025). The platform's launch led to a 12% increase in the price of SingularityNET (AGIX) on March 11, 2025, reaching $0.92, as per CoinGecko (source: CoinGecko, March 11, 2025). The trading volume for AGIX surged by 35% to $120 million on March 11, 2025, according to CoinMarketCap (source: CoinMarketCap, March 11, 2025). This surge in AI token prices and volumes indicates a growing interest in AI-driven trading solutions within the crypto market. Moreover, the correlation between AI developments and major crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum has been positive, with Bitcoin's price increasing by 1.8% on the same day as the AGIX surge, as per CoinGecko (source: CoinGecko, March 11, 2025). This suggests that AI-related news can influence broader market sentiment, creating potential trading opportunities in AI/crypto crossover assets. The rise in AI-driven trading volumes also reflects a shift in market dynamics, with traders increasingly relying on AI tools for decision-making, as noted by a 20% increase in AI-driven trading volume on major exchanges over the past month, according to Kaiko (source: Kaiko, March 12, 2025).
