Grayscale Spot Bitcoin ETF 'Halves' Before BTC Halving

灰度现货比特币 ETF 在 BTC 减半之前“减半”

Major Bitcoin investor Grayscale Investments has witnessed a 50% decline in its spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) holdings ahead of the anticipated Bitcoin halving event.

在预期的比特币减半事件发生之前，主要比特币投资者 Grayscale Investments 的现货 BTC 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 持有量下降了 50%。

On April 16, Bitcoin holdings in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) dropped from 619,220 BTC on the first day of trading on Jan. 11 to 309,871 BTC on its 66th day of trading. This represents a 50% reduction in the amount of BTC held by the ETF since its trading debut.

4 月 16 日，灰度比特币信托 ETF（GBTC）的比特币持有量从 1 月 11 日交易首日的 619,220 BTC 下降至交易第 66 天的 309,871 BTC。这意味着该 ETF 自首次交易以来持有的 BTC 数量减少了 50%。

The GBTC "halving" occurred just two days before the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving, which will reduce the mining reward by 50% from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

GBTC“减半”发生在万众期待的比特币减半前两天，这将使挖矿奖励从 6.25 BTC 减少 50% 至 3.125 BTC。

Occurring once every four years, or once in 210,000 blocks, the Bitcoin halving is a major event often tied to subsequent rallies in the crypto market. While the two events are not correlated, they coincide in the chronology of Bitcoin-related occurrences.

比特币减半每四年发生一次，或者每 210,000 个区块发生一次，是一个重大事件，通常与加密货币市场随后的反弹相关。虽然这两个事件没有相关性，但它们在比特币相关事件的时间顺序上是一致的。

Worldcoin Launches Its Own 'Human-Centric' Blockchain Network

世界币推出自己的“以人为中心”区块链网络

Worldcoin, an identity coin startup founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has furthered its "human-centric" approach to the Web3 space with its new blockchain network, World Chain.

Worldcoin 是一家由 OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 创立的身份代币初创公司，通过其新的区块链网络 World Chain，进一步推进了其在 Web3 领域的“以人为中心”的方法。

Worldcoin 运营主管 Tiago Sada 在接受 Cointelegraph 采访时解释了该项目在网络设计中优先考虑人类而不是机器人的意图。

"Usually, the way it works is that every account is fighting for block space. Usually, since bots can move faster and they can outbid humans," he said, "the networks get saturated with all the transactions for bots, and humans have whatever is left — many times, they can't even get in."

“通常情况下，它的工作方式是每个账户都在争夺区块空间。通常，由于机器人可以移动得更快，并且它们可以比人类出价更高，”他说，“网络会因为机器人的所有交易而饱和，而人类则拥有一切剩下的——很多时候，他们甚至都进不去。”

Most Memorable Quotations

最难忘的名言

"I always tell people that if you buy Bitcoin and you are trying to predict what the price is in an hour or a day, a week, or even a month, that's probably a fool's errand. Instead, what you should think about is, 'This is a savings technology.'"

• Anthony Pompliano, founder and partner at Pomp Investments

"With only 2 million Bitcoins left, if we assume a daily inflow of $500 million to Bitcoin Spot ETFs, the equivalent of around 7,142 Bitcoin will leave exchange reserves daily, suggesting that it will only take nine months to consume all of the remaining reserves."

Pomp Investments 创始人兼合伙人 Anthony Pompliano “比特币只剩下 200 万枚，如果我们假设每天有 5 亿美元流入比特币现货 ETF，则相当于每天约 7,142 枚比特币将离开外汇储备，这意味着只需要 9几个月消耗掉所有剩余的储备。”

• Bybit, cryptocurrency exchange

"Don't expect a lot of flows — I saw one estimate of $25b that's insane. We think they'll be lucky to get $500m."

Bybit，加密货币交易所“不要指望会有很多流量——我看到了 250 亿美元的估值，这太疯狂了。我们认为他们会幸运地获得 5 亿美元。”

• Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg

"Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots."

Prediction of the Week

Bitcoin Miners Could Dump $5B in BTC After Halving

比特币矿工可能在减半后抛售 5B 美元的 BTC

Bitcoin miners could potentially liquidate $5 billion worth of BTC after the halving, the head of research at 10x Research, Markus Thielen, calculated in an April 13 analyst note.

10x Research 研究主管 Markus Thielen 在 4 月 13 日的分析师报告中计算出，比特币矿工在减半后可能会清算价值 50 亿美元的 BTC。

"The overhang from this selling could last four to six months, explaining why Bitcoin might go sideways for the next few months — as it has done following past halvings," he added.

他补充说：“这种抛售的悬念可能会持续四到六个月，这解释了为什么比特币可能会在未来几个月内横盘整理——就像过去减半后的情况一样。”

Thielen said that the same could happen again, with crypto markets potentially facing "a significant challenge in a six-month 'summer' lull."

蒂伦表示，同样的情况可能会再次发生，加密货币市场可能面临“六个月‘夏季’平静期的重大挑战”。

Bitcoin prices remained range-bound between $9,000 and $11,500 in the five months that followed the 2020 halving.

在 2020 年减半后的五个月里，比特币价格一直在 9,000 美元至 11,500 美元之间波动。
