Kaiko analysts predict that the fourth Bitcoin halving event will affect Bitcoin’s price, which is expected to be less significant than previously thought.&nbsp; 
A blockchain analytics firm in Paris <a href="https://research.kaiko.com/insights/bitcoins-fourth-halving-this-time-is-different" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="external">suggests</a> that the halving event will not be the main factor driving Bitcoin’s growth. Instead, the emphasis is now on drawing new investors with factors such as spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. and <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/24/hong-kong-to-debut-spot-bitcoin-ether-etfs-on-april-30/" data-wpel-link="internal">Hong Kong</a>, showing how Bitcoin is becoming more integrated with mainstream finance. 
It stated, “All three previous halvings have preceded Bitcoin bull runs and many market participants anticipate its fourth will be another catalyst for growth. However, the fourth halving fell against a significantly different backdrop than the previous three.” 
The current halving occurs in a unique high-interest rate environment, setting no historical precedent for Bitcoin’s long-term performance. According to Kaiko, strong liquidity and growing demand will be crucial in enhancing Bitcoin’s value proposition in the months ahead. 
However, markets have already absorbed this latest halving and priced in the reduction in supply. 
Despite the subdued expectations post-halving, crypto stocks have seen<a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/23/bitcoin-halving-fuels-20-surge-in-top-us-crypto-stocks/" data-wpel-link="internal"> immediate gains</a>, with companies like Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms witnessing around 20% growth. Notably, Stronghold Digital saw a remarkable 35.3% increase. 
This detailed perspective emerges as the cryptocurrency market keeps changing. Investor interest and regulatory developments are playing increasingly significant roles in shaping its future.
