| Bitcoin's Post-Halving Blues | The worst post-halving performance of Bitcoin after April has disrupted the usual four-year cycle. Experts now caution investors against relying on this pattern. Unlike past halvings, where Bitcoin gained significantly (739% in 2012, 10% in 2016, and 22% in 2020), the cryptocurrency is down 8% 130 days after the April event . Since 2016, the halving's fundamental impact has faded as the asset matures, though it still holds psychological significance for investors. | | | | Top Gainers and Biggest Losers | Over the past two weeks, Nervos Network (CKB), Fantom (FTM), and Mantra (OM) stood out as the top gainers among the top 100 cryptos, posting solid growth. On the other hand, Maker (MKR) and Notcoin (NOT) were the biggest losers, each dropping around 8–9% in value during the same period. | | | Nervos Network CKB | $0.0089 ▴ 87.02% | | | | | | Fantom FTM | $0.49 ▴ 16.19% | | | | | | Mantra OM | $1.02 ▴ 18.47% | | | | Wondering what are the best & worst performing crypto on a daily basis?

If Kamala Harris wins, they expect Bitcoin to drop to $30,000–40,000. | Ethereum reaching its $4,878 high by year-end is "possible but highly unlikely," says Derive founder Nick Forster, citing weak ETF performance and lack of a strong narrative.
