"Countdown to Bitcoin's Halving: What You Should Expect"

The bitcoin "halving," which occurs every four years, is set to reduce the rewards for bitcoin miners, potentially increasing the cryptocurrency's scarcity and demand. This time, the halving comes after bitcoin has already hit a new record high, partly due to the approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The latest cycle is different from past ones, with the ETF demand pulling forward potential price impacts of the halving. Additionally, there's speculation about whether Ethereum will be the next cryptocurrency to be granted an ETF, but industry insiders are skeptical about the SEC approving an ether ETF in the near future.
