As someone who closely follows the cryptocurrency market, I was truly captivated by Coingecko’s comprehensive virtual meeting in the first quarter. The insights shared by key speakers on the trends in the digital currency ecosystem were both informative and intriguing.


I had the opportunity to attend a detailed virtual gathering hosted by Coingecko lately. During this event, prominent figures in the digital currency sphere shared their perspectives on the market trends that emerged in the first quarter. The Polkadot ecosystem was particularly highlighted as it undergoes significant transformation, making it a topic of great interest.

Crypto Market Q1 Spotlight

In the first quarter review, Zhong Yang Chan, the Head of Research at Coingecko, underscoreed the significant impact of the introduction of Spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) on the crypto market during January.

Using significant assets from trusts like Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), managed by BlackRock Inc (NYSE: BLK), the ETF market has attracted a substantial influx of institutional investment. Consequently, this influx has boosted the price of Bitcoin, reaching a new record high above $73,000 in March.

Chan paid particular attention to the growing trend of Ethereum staking, which currently holds significant importance within this field. Notably, Ether.Fi continues to lead the way in this sector, while EigenLayer is picking up steam and making notable strides recently.
