Quick Take

Bitcoin has experienced a remarkable first quarter in 2024, as reported by Coinglass, with the digital asset surging by an impressive 64% over the quarter and by 13% in March alone.

This surge marks the seventh consecutive month of gains for Bitcoin. The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States has played a significant role, attracting over $12 billion in net inflows.

Furthermore, analysis of session data from Velo Data indicates that European trading hours have surpassed both the US and Asia in performance year-to-date. European sessions have seen a 34% increase compared to 30% for Asia and 14% for the US.

Notably, there was a significant spike on March 25, coinciding with the announcement by the London Stock Exchange (LSE) of the launch dates for Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs).
