RELATED INDICES
Bitcoin halving is expected to take place later this month, which has been a bearish event historically but was followed by a long-term bullish cycle, Justin d'Anethan, head of APAC business development at Keyrock, told The Block on Monday.
Morgan Creek Capital Management CEO Mark Yusko said in a previous interview with CNBC that halving will bring a lot of interest into bitcoin and stir up FOMO (or fear of missing out) among investors, and eventually lead the cryptocurrency’s value up to $150,000 by the year-end.
Meanwhile, the GMCI 30 Index, representing the selection of the top 30 cryptocurrencies, fell 1.2% in the last 24 hours.
