Working with the Bitcoin vs Pound Sterling series
Bitcoin in sterling, listed here from March 2023 alongside the other non-USD crypto crosses. Sterling's own event risk lives inside this price — the pair moves on UK macro days when Bitcoin itself is quiet. Direct GBP crypto liquidity is a fraction of the dollar market's, so quoted spreads run wider than a synthetic BTC/USD × GBP/USD construction; which one your analysis should use depends on whether you model quotes or costs.
