Cryptocurrency exchange and trading platform, Bybit has released a new report highlighting the impacts of the upcoming Bitcoin halving event on the supply dynamics of Bitcoin within exchanges in the crypto space. The crypto firm has provided valuable insights on how the halving event would enhance scarcity and considerably influence the price of BTC.\u00a0 Exchanges Set To Face Bitcoin Supply Crunch On Tuesday, April 16, Bybit published a new report, providing a detailed analysis of the Bitcoin halving event set to take place this month. The crypto firm disclosed that the Bitcoin reserves within the world\u2019s crypto exchanges have been depleting at a rapid pace, leaving only nine months of BTC supply left on exchanges.\u00a0 Related Reading: Arbitrum\u2019s Massive $107 Million Token Unlock Threatens To Send Price Below $1 For a clearer perspective, Bybit explains that with just two million Bitcoin left in its total supply, a daily influx of $500 million into Spot Bitcoin ETFs would result in approximately 7,142 BTC leaving exchanges daily. This suggests that it would take only nine months to completely consume all of the remaining BTC reserves on exchanges.\u00a0 Bybit has stated that a major contributor to this supply squeeze would be the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, which would reduce the cryptocurrency\u2019s total supply by 50% by cutting Bitcoin miners\u2019 rewards in half.\u00a0 The crypto exchange has also disclosed that after the halving event, the sell-side supply of BTC flowing into Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) will become grossly reduced. Additionally, Bitcoin\u2019s \u201csupply squeeze will ostensibly be worse.\u201d BTC To Become \u201cTwice As Rare As Gold\u201d In its report, Bybit compared Bitcoin\u2019s supply after the halving event with that of gold. The crypto exchange revealed that Bitcoin was steadily growing to become one of the safest investment choices, even for the most seasoned and sophisticated investors within the crypto space.\u00a0 According to the exchange, the Bitcoin halving event would significantly impact the cryptocurrency\u2019s scarcity factor, making it an even rarer asset than gold.\u00a0 Basing this analysis on the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) ratio, Bybit disclosed that Bitcoin\u2019s S2F ratio is around 56 currently, while gold\u2019s ratio is 60. After the halving event this April, Bitcoin\u2019s S2F ratio is projected to increase to 112.\u00a0 Related Reading: Arkham Releases Top 5 Crypto Rich List \u2013 You Won\u2019t Believe How Much Is Inaccessible \u201cEach Bitcoin halving sharpens the narrative of Bitcoin as not just a currency, but a scarce digital asset, akin to digital gold. This upcoming halving in 2024 will thrust BTC into an era of unprecedented scarcity, making it twice as rare as gold,\u201d the Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, Ben Zhou stated.\u00a0 While highlighting the significance of Bitcoin\u2019s rarity following the halving event, another report also disclosed that the price of Bitcoin would experience significant upward pressure post-halving. This suggests that BTC’S supply squeeze could potentially propel its price to new heights during this period.\u00a0 Furthermore, the report revealed that several crypto analysts predict that the post-halving increase in Bitcoin\u2019s price would be less remarkable than the early pre-halving surge which saw the price of Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs of more than $73,000.
