The Bitcoin network has reached the milestone of 20 million mined coins, with only one million remaining until 2140.Summary
The Bitcoin network recently achieved the milestone of 20 million mined coins, leaving only one million Bitcoin left to be mined over the next century, with the last coin expected around 2140. Industry figures highlighted that this finite supply offers unprecedented predictability, contrasting with fiat currencies. Experts noted that while the milestone itself is unlikely to impact the short-term price, as it is already priced in, the long-term combination of scarcity and predictable policy is a powerful factor. Once mining ceases, the network's security will rely solely on transaction fees, a shift that raises some concerns about future fee levels.
