๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿš€ Bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts, buckle up! Q1 2024 has been a blast for our favorite digital asset, marking its third-best quarter in the past three years, says a report from Kaiko. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

BTC recorded a whopping $1.4 trillion in trading volumes between January and March 2024, a 107% increase from the $674 billion in Q4 2023. ๐ŸŽฏ The last time we saw similar volumes was in Q1 and Q2 2021, with $1.93 trillion and $2.16 trillion traded respectively.

This surge in trading volumes signals stronger market engagement and improved market participation. ๐ŸŽŠ Major exchanges like OKX and Bybit saw significant growth, while smaller Asian platforms like Bithumb, Korbit, Bitflyer, and Zaif recorded the highest percentage increase in trading volumes. ๐ŸŒ

The star of the show? The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ High demand for these ETFs positively impacted BTC's price, causing it to close the quarter with a 64% gain. ๐Ÿ“Š

Meanwhile, the 60-day correlation between BTC and altcoins hit multi-year lows in Q1 2024. Kaiko attributes this to altcoins' competition for liquidity, while Bitcoin saw high inflows amid the launch of spot ETFs. ๐Ÿš€

So, here's to Bitcoin's continued success! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽ‰
