Over the last week, Bitcoin (BTC)\u00a0 investors enjoyed much profit as the crypto asset gained 9.34% to trade above $71,000 based on data from CoinMarketCap<\/a>. Currently, most of the BTC market is highly expectant of the potential large price gains that the current bull cycle could present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, commenting on the immediate future, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has stated that the upcoming halving event – a key part of the bull cycle – could be the most significant in Bitcoin\u2019s trading history as a result of an impending massive decline in the token\u2019s supply.

In a post on X on March 29<\/a>, Hunter Horsley shared that the Bitcoin Halving event slated for April 2024 could have the most profound supply and demand effects recorded ever in the asset\u2019s history. For context, Bitcoin halving<\/a> is a phenomenon that occurs every four years in which the block reward for BTC miners is reduced by half.<\/span><\/p>\n

The April 2024 Bitcoin halving may be the most impactful we\u2019ve seen. Why?<\/p>\n

The last Bitcoin halving, 2020, Bitcoin was at ~$9,000. So the supply reduction in $ terms was ~$9M a day, and ~$3B a year. <\/p>\n

This halving with Bitcoin ~$70,000, it will be >3x greater in $ terms: ~$32M a\u2026<\/p>\n
