The upcoming fourth Bitcoin halving, scheduled for around April 20, will reduce miner rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, impacting mining profitability and potentially influencing Bitcoin's price and ecosystem. Efficiency in mining operations will become crucial, and transaction fees will gain importance for miner revenue. The event could attract institutional investors due to the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, contributing to demand. Historical trends suggest possible price appreciation post-halving, but investors should be wary of volatility and macroeconomic factors.
