Bitcoin’s Halving Event Explained: The Ari Wallet Quiz Answer You Need in 2025

Bitcoin's halving isn't just another crypto buzzword—it's the economic earthquake that reshapes the market every four years. Here's why traders are obsessing over it (and why your portfolio should too).

The Supply Squeeze That Shakes Crypto

Every 210,000 blocks—roughly four years—Bitcoin's block reward gets slashed in half. Fewer new coins enter circulation, and scarcity does what it always does: pumps prices (assuming demand holds up, which it usually does—until Wall Street 'discovers' it again).

Miners vs. Markets: The Post-Halving Shakeout

When rewards drop from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC overnight, inefficient miners get wiped out. Hash rate stumbles, mempools clog, and the 'difficulty adjustment' becomes a survival filter—nature's way of saying 'adapt or die.' Meanwhile, exchanges spin it as 'institutional adoption' while quietly rebalancing their cold wallets.

The 2025 Wildcard: ETF Arms Race Meets Halving

This cycle's different. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF is now a $50B behemoth, and every halving-day dip gets bought faster than a meme coin on leverage. Will this be the first halving where traditional finance's greed outweighs crypto's volatility? Place your bets—preferably before the next 'unexpected' rally.

Remember: In crypto, the only thing scarcer than Bitcoin post-halving is a trader who admits they sold too early.
