Every four years, the important event in the crypto market — Bitcoin halving, accompanied by a bullish cycle, triggers fervor. It occurs every 210,000 blocks, reducing the block mining reward by half. This is Bitcoin’s way of combating inflation, ensuring scarcity, and increasing its value over time. The next halving is expected around April 22, 2024, only 12 days away. To embrace this significant crypto event together, Blex.io, a decentralized perpetual contract trading platform based on an index price feed model, has launched the “BTC Halving Trading Contest.” The total prize pool for this contest matches the current mining reward for each block of BTC, which is 6.25 BTC, approximately $430,000 in total.
