Why track BTC/USD alongside GBP?

Frequently asked questions
What is the Bitcoin price in USD right now?
The live BTC to USD price is shown above, sourced from the CoinGecko public market data feed and refreshed every 60 seconds.
Why do most Bitcoin sites quote prices in USD?
Bitcoin's deepest trading liquidity is against the US Dollar on major global exchanges, so USD became the default reference price. We show USD alongside GBP and EUR so UK and European users don't have to convert manually.
How is the BTC/GBP price calculated from USD?
Where a direct GBP trading pair isn't available, the GBP price is derived from the USD price using live foreign exchange rates, giving an accurate real-time Bitcoin to GBP figure.
Is the Bitcoin price the same on every exchange?
No — small differences (spread) exist between exchanges due to liquidity and order book depth. The price shown here reflects aggregated market data and should be treated as a reference, not an exact executable quote.
