Riding the Bitcoin wave ahead of April’s halving

With anticipation mounting for the forthcoming Bitcoin halving in April, the price of the world’s leading crypto-currency has experienced a significant surge in recent weeks. Since the beginning of the year, it’s gained almost 50% to trade above $65 000, bringing it close to its all-time high of $69 000. This uptrend has been further fuelled by the recent approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission of several spot-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The Bitcoin halving that occurs every four years is a pivotal event in the crypto-currency universe. It aims to decrease the rate at which new Bitcoins enter circulation, thereby managing the total supply. Historically, halving events have correlated with increases in Bitcoin's price, as reduced supply stimulates heightened demand.

The timing couldn’t be better for cashing in on some crypto profits, and the process of doing so couldn’t be more straightforward.
