The most traded Bitcoin pairs, BTCUSD, BTCGBP, and BTCEUR, provide valuable insights into the global Bitcoin market and how local economic conditions impact price action. Analyzing their performances on Bitstamp reveals interesting trends.
Year-to-date, BTCEUR has outperformed BTCGBP and BTCUSD, gaining 130.39% compared to 122.24% and 120.85%, respectively. This can be attributed to the euro’s weakness against the dollar and pound due to the Eurozone’s economic challenges.
In the three-month window, BTCEUR continues to lead, with euro weakness deepening. BTCGBP has shown stronger performance than BTCUSD, reflecting the UK’s economic struggles.
Following the US election, BTCUSD gained 42.38%, trailing BTCEUR and BTCGBP. The dollar’s strength tempered BTCUSD’s gains, while BTCEUR and BTCGBP were less affected.
The divergence in Bitcoin’s performance across these pairs highlights the impact of fiat currency volatility on perceived returns. The euro and pound’s volatility exaggerates Bitcoin’s price movements against them.
Since the election, BTCUSD has shown steady growth despite the dollar’s strength, while BTCEUR and BTCGBP continue to outperform due to ongoing euro and pound weakness.
Overall, Bitcoin’s standout performance in the Eurozone is fueled by the weak euro, making it a popular hedge against depreciating fiat currencies.
