  • Following the 'halving', Bitcoin remained relatively stable, dropping by 0.47% to $63,747.

  • The 'halving' was integrated into Bitcoin's code at its inception to reduce the rate of new Bitcoins being created.

  • Experts are divided on whether the upcoming 'halving' will boost Bitcoin's price, with some viewing it as already factored in, while others remain skeptical.
