Halving

The halving is the periodic cutting in half of the reward paid to bitcoin miners.

It happens roughly every four years and slows the creation of new bitcoins, reinforcing their scarcity. Traders watch it closely, as historically it has preceded large price moves.

Example

After a halving, the miner reward drops, for example, from 6.25 to 3.125 bitcoins per block.
