According to Woofun AI, the countdown to Bitcoin's halving has advanced to 61%. This key progress was revealed by analyst Root on the X platform, marking the second half of the four-year cycle. Market focus is rapidly targeting the next halving event, which is expected to occur in April 2028, when block rewards will be structurally reduced. The approach of this macro time point provides a clear anchor point for the current market to anticipate tight supply.
Judging from technical details and market explosiveness, OKLink data shows that the specific halving date is set for April 13, 2028, and there are still about 109,000 blocks to be mined at this point. Notably, data compiled by Woofun AI shows that when the tweet was posted on September 22, 2026, the BTC price strongly surpassed $86,000 on September 21, reaching a new high since January. On the same day, the US spot ETF market showed explosive inflows, with a net inflow of $999 million in a single day. Among them, BlackRock IBIT (IBIT.US) led with 381 million US dollars, and ARKB (ARKB.US) and FBTC (FBTC.US) recorded net inflows of 289 million US dollars and 239 million US dollars respectively, driving the total net inflow of three days closer to 1.6 billion US dollars, highlighting the strong pricing of supply scarcity by institutional capital.
Coinbase (COIN.US) CEO Brian Armstrong further confirmed this trend in his September statement. He predicted that in the next year or two, as the halving point approaches, BTC is expected to continue its upward momentum, and citing historical laws to point out that halving is often accompanied by a sharp rise in price. Looking back at the evolution of the mechanism, miner rewards have been reduced from 6.25 bitcoins to 3.125 bitcoins since the 2024 halving; another halving in 2028 will further reduce the rewards to 1.5625 bitcoins. This monetary characteristic of forcibly reducing the speed of issuance of new coins through algorithms forms the core valuation support against the backdrop of continued growth in demand.
The 61% progress is not a direct stock price signal, but rather an established stage in Bitcoin's long-term supply node. Given that BTC has returned above $86,000, compounded by strong institutional inflows from ETFs, the market is re-evaluating this supply crunch cycle. This is the earliest pricing response of the market to the next major contraction in money supply, following the 2024 halving. The long-term holding logic is being rapidly verified by short-term liquidity.
