How previous Bitcoin halvings unfolded (full article)
"... The next halving event, expected to occur in the third week of April, is drawing close, and it is instructive to look at historical data."
"... Bitcoin halvings have historically produced powerful effects on the crypto industry and broader financial ecosystem. Through the lens of history, tracing back through halving events in 2012, 2016, and 2020, we can observe certain recurring patterns in how halvings affect the world of crypto."
"... As supply diminishes and demand increases over time, the stage is set, at least theoretically, for upward price movement, which often comes to fruition gradually, within the following several months rather than immediately."
" Historically, bitcoin has experienced notable price increases within the 5-6 months following each halving event. For example, 150 days following the previous three halvings in 2012, 2016, and 2020, BTC prices have increased by 999%, 15%, and 24%, respectively."
" The next Bitcoin halving in April is set to take place against an unprecedented backdrop of robust inflows back into the industry and centralized exchanges like Binance, along with burgeoning institutional engagement facilitated by the approval of spot BTC ETFs in the US. "
Add to that a surge in layer-2 solutions and DeFi activity, which augment the network’s practical utility, and the setup begins to look remarkably favorable for the Bitcoin ecosystem and the wider crypto space.
However, it's still important to remember that while the context surrounding the 2024 halving is auspicious, there are no guarantees that its dynamics and effects will mirror those of previous halving events. "
