Crypto.Com Presents Halving Special With Bitcoin at 50% off on the Exchange

May. 5, 2020

As the world is counting down for the Bitcoin Halving on May 12th, Crypto.com announced last week the BTC Halving Special on Crypto.com Exchange, featuring BTC at 50% off with $1M USD allocation.

Unlike previous events hosted on the Syndicate of Crypto.com Exchange, no CRO staking is required and all Crypto.com Exchange users are welcome to participate!

“This is not the first Bitcoin Halving. To keep the release of new tokens steady, the miners’ reward is cut by 50% every 210,000 blocks. Historical halvings have resulted in mid-to-long term price appreciation as well as price increases leading to the event. There were also unpredictable short term price movements following each event. The upcoming Bitcoin halving will basically cut by half the rewards that miners validating transactions on the network get, from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC. This means the inflation rate for Bitcoin will decrease from 3.68% to 1.80%”, according to Crypto.com’s COO, Eric Anziani.

To celebrate this special day, the BTC Halving Special will commence on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, 6am UTC on the Crypto.com Exchange. The maximum allocation for BTC subscription is subject to the amount of CRO staked on the exchange. For users on the Crypto.com Exchange with no CRO staked, you can get up to $200 USD of BTC allocated.

Crypto.com is also giving away a total of $100,000 USD of BTC on Twitter every day from now until May 12th. For details, click here.
