Bitcoin Halving

The reasons Bitcoin price is down 11% since the halving

Bitcoin’s current price action is “hardly a surprise” given the extraordinary bullish action leading up to the fourth halving.

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has sharply declined over the past few days, which might have triggered some concerns from those who thought Bitcoin would surge after its fourth halving.

The price of Bitcoin has dropped 11% since the fourth Bitcoin halving, which occurred on April 20, at 12:09 am UTC.

On the halving date, Bitcoin traded around $64,000. In the immediate aftermath of halving, Bitcoin saw a short rally, topping above $67,000 on April 22. But since then, Bitcoin has been gradually selling off, tumbling below $57,000 on May 1, according to CoinGecko data.

One satoshi is currently worth $0.00065 — but some sats hold inherent “collectible value” in the Bitcoin ecosystem, cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx Global explained.

Bitcoin miners spreading sales dulled post-halving price drop: Bitfinex

Pre-halving Bitcoin miner reserve sales and the U.S. spot ETFs have mulled any negative Bitcoin price action after the halving, says Bitfinex.

Bitcoin (BTC) miners were selling their reserves ahead of the halving and the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States may have “spread out the potential selling pressure,” which helped avoid a sharp price drop alongside the event, said Bitfinex.

“It appears that miners have executed their selling in advance, which has turned out to be advantageous for the market in the short term,” the crypto exchange wrote in its April 22 weekly market report.

It cited CryptoQuant data showing that in March, a daily average of 374 BTC was sent by miners to exchanges — an over 70% fall from February’s 1,300 BTC daily average, equivalent to $86.4 million.

Bitcoin ETF demand turns negative around BTC halving

Spot Bitcoin ETFs initially recorded inflows that significantly outpaced the daily mining output, but demand seems to have slowed.

Demand for the newest Bitcoin investment products is slowing down as the world’s first cryptocurrency went through its fourth “halving” event. 

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) became a benchmark for institutional investments in Bitcoin (BTC) after launching in January 2024.

The 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs approved by United States regulators in January collectively managed over $13 billion in inflows within a couple of months of launching. Gold ETFs took years to accomplish the same feat.
