That said, times have changed somewhat. During 2017-18, I was hard pressed to find any non-BTC altcoins pair that has any meaningful volume. Now that is not the case. Both Binance and Bitrex have multiple stablecoin-altcoins solutions.
This is something I hadn't really thought about.
BTC being the dominant on/off ramp and base trading pair in crypto has exaggerated its dominance.
But as you said with major exchanges offering plenty of stable coin alternatives, this isn't entirely the case anymore.
I'm not saying that the altcoin and bitcoin markets are going to completely separate just yet, but bitcoin's dominance will surely continue to subside.
Exciting.

No I don't think they will separate. I have yet to see an altcoin rallying for 8 months while BTC dropping... right? Meaning complete negative correlation. That is yet to happen. But just more stable coin options are available. You must agree altcoin usd charts look much better than altcoin BTC charts :)
Yes usd charts look much better - hopefully they are a guide to the future with regards to btc pairings.
