The first halving led to a 17% reduction in new supply as a percentage of outstanding Bitcoin, marking the onset of a trend.<\/p>\n<p>This trend intensified in the 2016 halving; in terms of reduction in new supply as a percentage of the previous halving, it dropped by a third. In 2020, the reduction rate escalated to 43%. According to Pantera, the 2024 halving will result in an almost 50% cutback, chiefly due to the substantial number of Bitcoins already in circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Sequential halvings magnify Bitcoin\u2019s deflationary character and elucidate the cryptocurrency\u2019s scarcity, an element central to its value proposition. As the reduction rate approaches the 50% mark, the Bitcoin market is poised to encounter increased scarcity, which may significantly influence price dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Historical analysis from Pantera indicates similar trends, with the percentage of the previous halving rally experiencing a 32% increase for 2016 and 23% appreciation in 2020. Pantera is projecting a 47% surge up to the 2024 halving, potentially positioning Bitcoin around $35,000 by the upcoming halving.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_352227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-352227\" style=\"width: 1091px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-352227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halving, reduction in Bitcoin Supply: (Source: Pantera)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_352233\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-352233\" style=\"width: 1011px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-352233 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pantera1.png\" alt=\"Halvings Impact on price: (Source: Pantera)\" width=\"1011\" height=\"572\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-352233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halvings Impact on price: (Source: Pantera)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/bitcoin-scarcity-escalates-as-halving-nears\/\">Bitcoin scarcity escalates as halving nears<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\">CryptoSlate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Take Bitcoin\u2019s halvings, as highlighted in Pantera\u2019s recent newsletter, play a significant role in constricting the production of new Bitcoins.
