For context, the Bitcoin halving, which occurs every four years, is a network-programmed event during which the amount of miners’ rewards on the Bitcoin blockchain is reduced by half. Generally, the Bitcoin halving is regarded as a positive event that results in asset scarcity, thus driving up demand and market price in the long term. This notion may just remain true as Santiment describes the increased accumulation by BTC whales heading into the final weeks before the next halving as a bullish signal, indicating high confidence in the asset’s future valuation.
