The Bitcoin halving, a built-in mechanism that slows down the creation of new BTC, is set to occur on April 19. Historically, this event has triggered bull runs not just for Bitcoin, but for the entire crypto market. The current bull cycle has been largely driven by meme coins, particularly DOGE and SHIB, which often move in tandem with Bitcoin.
The halving could potentially lead to a sustainable increase in Bitcoin's price due to high demand, which could also trigger price spikes for DOGE and SHIB. Predictions suggest that DOGE could surge to $1 during this cycle, a 5x increase from its current position. Meanwhile, bullish developments such as an increasing burn rate and growing transaction numbers on Shibarium could see SHIB increase by 40% in the next few weeks and up to 300% in the following months.
However, investors are warned to tread carefully as the crypto market is known for its volatility, especially with meme coins. Despite this, the Bitcoin halving remains a significant event in the crypto industry.
