In light of the recent halving, experts from InternationalReserve offer their opinions on investment prospects in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space.
The Bitcoin Halving Scenario
Halving is an every four-year occurrence that reduces the mining returns by half. Historically, Bitcoin halvings had a major impact on market dynamics, frequently resulting in price increases due to lesser available BTC for circulation.
For instance, in a single year following the 2012 halving, the price of Bitcoin shot from about $12 to over $1,075. Similar trends emerged with the 2016 halving when prices increased over the course of the next 18 months from about $650 to about $20,000.
This time, interestingly, Bitcoin had already hit an all-time high prior to the halving; in March 2024, it peaked at $73,600. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US is one of the main reasons analysts cite for this early boom.

Why Crypto Can Offer Promising Opportunities Now
Considering the past patterns and the particulars of the 2024 halving, investing in cryptocurrencies seems to be a wise move right now.
Usually, a decrease in the amount of new-minted Bitcoins raises demand and prices. Furthermore, the market is now accessible to institutional investors thanks to the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, which can lead to more price growth.
The Argument for CFDs
The Bitcoin industry is nonetheless a young, developing ecosystem that is open to outside influences. One constant worry is government and central bank regulatory vigilance. The sudden demise of TerraUSD last year has also shaken investor confidence in the larger cryptocurrency market.
Therefore, InternationalReserve researchers advise a calculated strategy to stay out of the traps of direct ownership. According to them, for investors looking to access the upside potential of cryptocurrency, contract for difference (CFD) trading provides a compelling alternative. It enables traders to make price movement predictions without acquiring the underlying asset.
Here is why crypto CFDs might be beneficial:
- CFDs work through leverage, which allows traders to manage bigger positions with a lesser initial capital.
- CFDs let market participants take advantage of declining prices by short-selling. This adaptability is quite handy in the erratic cryptocurrency market, where prices may change abruptly.
- Holding cryptocurrency in digital wallets comes with security concerns, which are eliminated when one invests in CFDs.
Bottom Line
"Is this a good time to invest in crypto?" is not a straight yes or no. The market as it is now offers both chances and problems.
The long-term prospects for cryptocurrency are still promising even if the April 2024 halving might not have caused the quick price surge some had hoped for. Accelerators for possible future expansion include greater institutional acceptance, technological breakthroughs, and worldwide internet penetration.
Moreover, employing financial instruments like CFDs might provide a more regulated and maybe safer channel to markets. Investors can profit from market changes by relying on CFDs but without the hassles and dangers of actually holding and maintaining cryptocurrencies.
Ultimately, before making any investment choices, you should do a lot of research and take your risk tolerance into account.
