No cryptocurrency surpasses Bitcoin in total market capitalization at any point on or before 2021-12-31.
This is a 'no-event-through-deadline' criterion (no asset surpasses BTC market cap on or before 2021-12-31). No flippening occurred at any point in 2021, so the criterion held; resolved_on set to the deadline (2021-12-31) when the no-event window closed.

Evidence of what happened
Despite Bitcoin dominance falling to the ~40-55% range during the 2021 DeFi/altcoin boom, Bitcoin was never flipped: no cryptocurrency (including Ethereum) surpassed BTC in total market capitalization at any point in 2021. The 'flippening' narrative was quashed throughout the year.
Contemporary coverage confirms Bitcoin maintained its position as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap throughout 2021; the closest ETH ever came to a flippening was 2017 (~7% gap), not 2021.
Corrections
- tags: Bitcoin-dominance/flippening claim is a crypto-domain prediction; 'crypto' more central and matches sibling records. Optional refinement (both valid).
