Frequently Asked Questions About 2024-2025 Crypto Moments
## Frequently Asked Questions About 2024-2025 Crypto Moments
Why was the January 2024 spot Bitcoin ETF approval such a big deal? It gave everyday investors a regulated, brokerage-accessible way to gain Bitcoin exposure without holding the asset directly, unlocking a new wave of institutional money.
What changes when Bitcoin is halved? The block reward paid to miners is cut in half, reducing the new-supply rate and historically preceding multi-year bull cycles.
Why does MicroStrategy joining the Nasdaq-100 matter for crypto? Index funds and ETFs that track the Nasdaq-100 were forced to buy MSTR, giving Bitcoin proxy exposure a permanent seat in mainstream portfolios.
What did the Dencun upgrade do for Ethereum? It introduced blob transactions (EIP-4844) that cut Layer-2 rollup fees dramatically, making Ethereum cheaper to use at scale.
What is the difference between the Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs? Both launched in 2024, but the Ethereum products did not include staking yield at launch, which is one reason their flows were smaller.
