According to a CryptoSlate report, Bitcoin's traditional four-year cycle, driven by the halving, is being influenced by institutional factors. The halving, which reduces the supply of new Bitcoin, no longer holds exclusive power over Bitcoin's market dynamics. The investor base has broadened, access has improved, and price discovery now resembles mainstream risk markets. Factors like monetary policy and the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs are competing with the halving's impact, potentially overpowering it for extended periods. The report suggests that the traditional halving cycle may no longer be the primary driver of Bitcoin's price movements.
