    Is there a chance that the halving of Bitcoin might raise volatility

    Is there a chance that the Halving of Bitcoin might raise Volatility?


    Finance Outlook India Team | Monday, 15 April 2024

    Within the enigmatic realm of cryptocurrencies, there is an occurrence known as the Bitcoin halving. Imagine a cosmic dance of miners, investors, and fans, all excitedly anticipating the extraordinary event that will have a significant impact on the future of the most well-known cryptocurrency in the world.

    Bitcoin follows a timetable that is controlled by code. A halving event occurs in Bitcoin about every 4 years, or after every 210,000 blocks are mined. The payment that miners get for validating transactions is cut in half as a result of this incident. When there are fewer new Bitcoins available, demand may outpace supply and drive up the price. Experts predict that the halving will occur between April 20 and April 23, this year.

    Vice President of cryptocurrency exchange WazirX Rajagopal Menon said that the halving event should be seen in light of the fact that institutional demand for Bitcoin is already rising, particularly through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). He claims that "this inflow of institutional capital heightens the impact of halving events, fueling speculation and market volatility."

    The halving offers a challenge as well as an opportunity to the Bitcoin miners worldwide. Miners need to boost their processing power to fight for a smaller portion of the Bitcoin pie as payouts have been cut in half. 

    There is a mixture of exhilaration and worry among investors. Will Bitcoin reach new, unimaginable heights? Or will it fall into an unstable black hole? For Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of cryptocurrency exchange Mudrex, in the past, Bitcoin price halving has resulted in significant price increases. He points out that, for example, Bitcoin's price surged from $13 to a peak of $1,152 the following year during the first halving in 2012. 

    What therefore ought investors to do? The only things experts can advise them to do are diversify and conduct their own study. The answer to what Bitcoin will experience will only become clear with time.
