What is Halving?

The Bitcoin halving happens, approximately every four years. Therefore, when describing important events in Bitcoin history, events are divided into four-year segments based on halving dates. In the past four years, Bitcoin's sphere of influence has expanded considerably, reaching the most valuable level in its history at $73,780. The blockchain ecosystem, led by Bitcoin, is not only a technological infrastructure but also manifests itself in different areas of life. After the April 2024 Bitcoin halving, blocks will continue to be counted for the next Bitcoin halving, which is expected to take place in 2028.
