Marathon Digital Holdings Chairman and CEO Fred Thiel said on a recent edition of The Pomp Podcast that the impending halving puts <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-etf-ads-pops-up-on-google-igniting-btc-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> in a better position for a greater rate of appreciation. Especially when compared with gold. Also, it should make things more stable when the market isn’t doing well. 
In comparison to the gold market, the supply of Bitcoin will expand at a slower rate. According to him, this will significantly affect its pricing. Historically, BTC prices have surged in response to halvings, offsetting the income losses experienced by miners. Nonetheless, Thiel brought attention to the launch of Bitcoin ETFs as well.

The much anticipated <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/investors-eye-upcoming-fomc-meeting/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FOMC</a> decision might set the framework for any subsequent shifts in the cryptocurrency market, so investors are on high alert.&nbsp; 
The CME FedWatch Tool predicts that the Fed will likely leave the interest rate unchanged with a 97.9% likelihood. Particularly, investors will be watching Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech attentively for indications about the nation’s economic health and any measures by the central bank.
