The video highlights that a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) was approved in the U.S. this year, which has led to a surge in demand for Bitcoin while supply remains flat. With the halving imminent, the amount of new Bitcoin issued per day is scheduled to be reduced by half, highlighting the deflationary nature of the Bitcoin supply schedule. After this halving, Bitcoin’s inflation rate is set to be lower than gold’s inflation rate of ~1.5% on average.

TD Direct Investing detailed the halving process, explaining that it will occur approximately every four years (or every 210,000 blocks) until 2140, by which time all 21 million Bitcoins will have been mined. The ad also addresses historical patterns observed since previous halvings and points out a corresponding increase in Bitcoin price following the event.
