The chief investment officer of crypto fund manager Bitwise says the halving event for Bitcoin (BTC) is a bullish catalyst. In a new interview with CNBC Squawk Box host Andrew Sorkin, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says that the April 19th halving, when miners’ rewards are cut in half, could spark a massive rally based on historic precedence.

If you look historically at halvings, the price action around the halving if you look at…

A widely followed crypto analyst is forecasting that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach a six-figure price over the coming months. The pseudonymous host of the InvestAnswers YouTube channel says in an interview that Bitcoin could skyrocket by up to 282% from the current level driven by increased demand a few months after the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to the InvestAnswers’ host, what the institutional investors have put in in the ETFs is only a “small allocation game”, but that is about to change. “Well, the money hasn’t arrived yet, so the institutions are coming. They watched for…
Bitcoin has officially executed a systematic, hard-coded and highly anticipated event known as the halving. The event, which happens roughly every four years, essentially cuts the Bitcoin reward that miners receive for powering the network in half, reducing the new supply of BTC entering the market. The reward for mining a block has reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. The halving does not directly impact the price of BTC and is not like a stock split. Instead, it fulfills and showcases Bitcoin’s scarcity, its ever-decreasing rate of inflation and its steady climb to a maximum supply of 21 million…

Binance has converted all of the crypto in its $1 billion emergency insurance fund into the stablecoin USDC. The top global crypto exchange established the “Secure Asset Fund for Users” (SAFU) in 2018 to protect Binance users from “extreme situations.” The fund has typically attempted to maintain a balance worth $1 billion, though fluctuating crypto prices have impacted the value of its holdings over the years. In late 2022, the fund held $700 million worth of Binance USD (BUSD) and BNB, as well as $300 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC). Early last year, however, BUSD’s issuer, Paxos, received a “Wells…
