The Bitcoin network has formally passed the halfway mark in its four-year march to the 2028 halving as of April 15, 2026. Since the fourth halving happened at block 840,000 in April 2024, around 104,400 blocks have been added to the blockchain, which is 50% of the 210,000-block cycle needed to trigger the next reward decrease. The network is maintaining a very steady pace of around 144 blocks per day, so the countdown to the fifth halving at block 1,050,000 is now firmly set. This is currently expected to happen between February and May of 2028.As "digital gold," the basic operations of this event are essential to Bitcoin's value proposition since they automatically impose a limited supply cap of 21 million BTC. When the 2028 mark is reached, the block reward given to miners will fall from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC, therefore lowering daily output from around 450 BTC to 225 BTC. Historically, these halves in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 have been major catalysts for price increase as the abrupt drop in fresh supply frequently conflicts with growing retail and institutional demand.When the network reaches this 2028 threshold, around 93.75% of the entire Bitcoin supply will have been mined, therefore aggravating the asset's scarcity. This shift will put more emphasis on the long-term viability of the network's security as miners grow to depend more on transaction fees than on block subsidies for their income. Although experts disagree on the precise date because of the block-dependent character of the protocol, the 50% milestone attained now confirms that the "halving cycle" remains the pulse of the worldwide cryptocurrency market.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncertain times.

Bitcoin Scarcity Levels Heighten as Saylor and Institutional Players Close Entry Path
Major institutional buyers, led by MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, appear to be closing off opportunities for new investors to accumulate Bitcoin near prevailing average cost bases.

A prominent analyst noted on X that time may be running short for purchases aligned with the cost basis shared by Saylor and spot Bitcoin ETF holders. The warning follows MicroStrategy’s latest acquisition of 13,927 BTC for roughly $1 billion at an average price of $71,902 per coin. That purchase helped deliver a 5.6% BTC yield year-to-date through 2026.

As of April 12, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings were 780,897 coins, purchased for approximately $59.02 billion at an average cost of $75,577 per BTC.

The buying has followed a well-established rhythm tied to MicroStrategy’s STRC convertible-note program. Purchases typically accelerate toward the end of each dividend cycle because investors do not need to maintain positions for the full month to qualify for payouts. With the current STRC deadline falling on April 15, analysts expect Saylor’s buying power to contract sharply afterward.

One researcher who flagged this pattern more than a week ago said events have unfolded precisely as anticipated. He expects the market to lose Saylor as a marginal buyer after tomorrow, potentially triggering a price drift downward. The same dynamic has played out after each of the past three STRC-driven buying spurts, with only modest timing variations linked to when funds became available.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin rose 2.26% over the past 24 hours to $74,097.06, outpacing the broader market rally. The move was propelled by a short squeeze fueled by easing geopolitical tensions, particularly the de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran, which triggered rapid buybacks.

XRP's price has fallen sharply this year, but NVT data shows the asset is currently in better shape than when it was at its higher price last year.

Although XRP has fallen 51.7% since October 2025, analysis by CryptoQuant author YJ suggests that the current price is better supported by real network activity, indicating the XRP market may have shifted from speculative trading to more stable fundamentals.

Key Points

XRP has fallen 51.7% since Q4 2025; however, current data shows its fundamentals are stronger than when it was near $3.6 in 2025.

The NVT ratio is currently 170.2, having fallen from its 2025 high, indicating the current price is better supported by actual trading activity.

Daily trading volume was between 1.1 million and 2.2 million in 2025, but is projected to increase to 1.79 million in 2026.



Daily trading volume is expected to be between 1.1 million and 2.2 million in 2025, but is projected to increase to 1.79 million to 3 million in 2026.  Trading activity remained strong throughout 2026, never falling below 1.7 million transactions.

Institutional demand grew, with approximately $1 billion flowing into spot XRP ETFs.

Despite the price decline, XRP fundamentals remain strong.

While XRP has fallen to $1.37, YJ noted in his recent market analysis that today's price is more aligned with actual network activity.

In 2025, XRP reached even higher levels, including $3.60 in July 2025, but these prices were not strongly supported by actual usage.

Now, even with lower prices, data shows higher participation across the network, indicating that the market has moved away from speculation and towards more robust fundamentals.

The Value Revealed by the NVT Ratio

To explain this, YJ mentioned the Network Value to Transaction Volume (NVT) ratio, a commonly used tool for assessing cryptocurrency valuations.

The ongoing Iran conflict is reshaping the global packaging industry in ways environmental advocates never anticipated. By disrupting Middle Eastern oil and petrochemical supplies, the war has driven plastic prices to roughly four-year highs — forcing manufacturers across Asia to rethink their reliance on conventional plastic packaging.South Korean cosmetics packaging manufacturer Yonwoo, a supplier to global giants like L'Oréal, reports a threefold surge in inquiries for its paper-based tubes and pouches. These eco-friendly alternatives use just 20% of the plastic found in standard packaging. "Interest initially came from sustainability-focused companies," said Kim Min-sang of parent company Kolmar Korea, "but if the plastics issue gets prolonged, we expect demand to further increase."Asia's vulnerability runs deep. China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia collectively consumed nearly one-third of the world's plastic by 2022 — a staggering 900% increase since 1990, according to OECD data. Japan alone ranks second globally in plastic use per capita, behind only the United States. Now, Japanese supermarkets face potential shortages of plastic trays and bags, while major manufacturers like Mitsubishi Chemical and Sanipak plan price hikes of around 30% on select products.The crisis is accelerating sustainable packaging adoption across the region. Malaysia's dairy brand Farm Fresh has temporarily shifted to paper-based milk cartons, and Taiwan's bamboo-material company Lastic is receiving renewed interest from U.S. buyers who had previously stepped back due to trade tariffs.However, the transition isn't seamless for everyone. South Korea's Gaone International, which produces face mask packaging, has cut daily output by up to 90% while searching for alternative suppliers, warning customers of delays stretching to eight weeks.What was once a slow-moving susta
