Bitcoin Halving every four years, the production of new Bitcoin Halving on Halving. This means that during Bitcoin Halving events, the rewards for network maintainers are reduced by 50%, directly impacting the speed at which new Bitcoin can enter circulation. The day on which the reward is Halving is called Halving Day. This is a major event in the Crypto Assets market, which has happened three times since the birth of Bitcoin. Let's explore Bitcoin's all-time Halving chart to better understand it.
First Halving – November 28, 2012
Bitcoin's first Halving occurred after the network confirmed 210,000 blocks. The reward for Miner is reduced from 50 Bitcoin to 25 Bitcoin per Block. At the time of the Halving, the market price of Bitcoin was $12.20. After the Halving, a Bull Market ensued, and by the end of 2013, the Bitcoin price had risen to $1,000.
Second Halving – July 9, 2016
Four years later, the second Halving event took place in 2016, bringing the number of blocks to 420,000. This resulted in Mining rewards being reduced from 25 Bitcoin to 12.5 Bitcoin per Block. Before the Halving, Bitcoin price Fluctuation was large. However, Bitcoin was trading at $650.3 at the time and peaked at around $19,188 in December 2017.
Third Halving – May 11, 2020
The three Halving events occurred after 630,000 blocks had been processed. The reward for Miner has been reduced from 12.5 Bitcoin to 6.25 Bitcoin per Block. As leading Crypto Assets increasingly penetrate the financial sector, this event has attracted a lot of attention. BTC started at $8,821.42 and then quickly pumped to $10,943 in 150 days. It reached an all-time high of $69,000 in November 2021.
