Bitcoin halving 2024: What's next? Het aftellen is begonnen! Over 100 days at Bitcoin halving
2024, an event that the cryptocurrency world is eagerly awaiting. Investors have been eagerly awaiting the approval of a Bitcoin Spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in recent months, but in the meantime, Bitcoin miners will soon face a vendetta with a huge impact: a 50% cut in their reward for adding legitimate blocks to the Bitcoin blockchain.


The Bitcoin halving event The Bitcoin halving, also known as 'halving', is a major event that occurs approximately every four years, after 210,000 blocks have been mined. Currently, miners receive a block reward of 6.25 BTC for each new block mined. This reward is halved during each halving. After the upcoming halving, each block mined will only yield 3,125 BTC. The upcoming Bitcoin halving is the fourth in Bitcoin history. Previous halvings took place on: November 28, 2012 (block: 210,000) July 9, 2016 (block: 420,000) May 11, 2020 (block: 630,000)

De ‘block reward’, het aantal Bitcoins dat miners ontvangen voor een gemined blok, is gedaald van 50 BTC naar 25 BTC, vervolgens naar 12,5 BTC, en momenteel naar 6,25 BTC. Dit aantal zal opnieuw halveren tijdens de aankomende halving, gepland voor april 2024, waardoor de bitcoin beloning slechts 3,125 BTC per blok zal bedragen. 

Waarom de halving belangrijk is

Het totale aanbod van Bitcoin is beperkt tot (afgerond) 21 miljoen munten, waardoor Bitcoin voorspelbaar en transparant is. De Bitcoin halving is essentieel om deze maximale voorraad te handhaven. Het laatste exemplaar zal naar verwachting worden gemined in het jaar 2140. De voorgaande halving events werden vaak gevolgd door een bull market met een bijbehorende bull run van ongeveer 1-2 maanden. 


Future predictions Based on historical patterns, the current cycle suggests a possible bullish trend in 2025, coinciding with possible institutional investments through the Bitcoin ETF space. Standard Chartered's prediction, with a Bitcoin price target of $120,000 by the end of 2024, does not seem unrealistic given these historical patterns. With only 100 days to go, the year 2024 is already bringing exciting developments to the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
