Interest in the keyword 'Bitcoin halving' on Google has reached an all-time high. Estimated data suggests that interest has more than doubled compared to the last halving period in 2020.

Bitcoin halving refers to a period when mining rewards are halved. With this year's halving, rewards will be reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.
According to the countdown timer on NiceHash, the halving event is expected to occur around 07:00 in Turkey on April 20th.
Google Trends data shows that the greatest interest in the Bitcoin halving event comes from Nigeria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Cyprus.
Following Bitcoin's reaching record levels in recent months, the anticipation surrounding the halving event is expected to lead to record levels of interest. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin started the year at $42,200 and reached an all-time high of $73,600 on March 13th, marking a 74% increase.
Since then, Bitcoin's ascent has slowed down, and at the time of writing, it is trading at $61,078, down 17% from its peak.
While most market participants express a negative view, some analysts argue that considering Bitcoin's historical development, it could experience a significant increase in value after the halving event.
