Bitcoin halving is the halving of the block reward given to miners on the Bitcoin network every 210,000 blocks, and the process occurs approximately every four years. As Bitcoin's total supply limit is capped at 21 million BTC, these halvings reduce the rate of increase in Bitcoin's new supply and reinforce its deflationary properties. Halving events are critical turning points that help Bitcoin maintain its deflationary structure and increase its value in the long run.
Halving is a critical mechanism to maintain Bitcoin's limited supply and lower the inflation rate. New Bitcoin production slows down when mining rewards are halved. In the long run, halving helps Bitcoin become a rare asset and thus increase its value.
Halving events have been designed as an economic incentive system since the inception of the Bitcoin network. The system was created by Bitcoin's founder Satoshi Nakamoto to ensure that the supply was brought under control after a rapid increase in supply in the early years of mining.
The first Bitcoin halving event took place in 2012, and the reward per block given to miners decreased from 50 BTC to 25 BTC.

Historical data shows that halving events usually have a positive impact on Bitcoin prices. However, these effects may vary depending on market conditions and investor psychology.
Halving events occur every 210,000 blocks, which is a period of approximately four years.
After the halving, mining rewards are halved and this affects the mining structure and profitability. However, looking at historical data, the increase in Bitcoin price has generally offset the loss of miners' income.
Halving is necessary to maintain the deflationary nature of the Bitcoin economy and to manage mining rewards in a sustainable manner. Bitcoin's supply could increase uncontrollably and its value could decrease over time without halving.
The final halving of Bitcoin will occur when all 21 million Bitcoins have been mined, which is estimated to be in 2140. After this date, the production of new Bitcoins will cease and miners will only be rewarded with transaction fees.
The halving process happens automatically on the Bitcoin network. Every time 210,000 blocks are produced, the reward to miners is automatically halved. This is achieved through codes in the network's software and does not require any human intervention for the change.

Halving for Bitcoin Cash is a halving of mining rewards similar to Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash has its own halving timeline because it is separate from Bitcoin.
For Litecoin, halving is the halving of mining rewards, which occurs every 840,000 blocks. Litecoin is often referred to as ‘silver Bitcoin’ and has halving events due to these structural similarities.
Many other cryptocurrencies have similar halving mechanisms. These events are often designed to keep the supply dynamics of coins in check and keep inflation low.
