A message from OKX Chief Commercial Officer Lennix Lai. Opinions are that of the author and do not reflect OKX's official view. Not financial advice.

As a fundamental feature of Bitcoin's design, the halving mechanism means that the block reward will be cut in half, slowing the introduction of the remaining coins that can be mined and released into the market. The big picture is this: out of the maximum supply of 21 million, about 1.35 million bitcoin are left to be mined between now and the final halving in the year 2140.
