As a keen observer of the cryptocurrency market, I'm always interested in understanding the key events that shape its dynamics. One such event is the Bitcoin halving, which has significant implications for miners and investors alike. Could you please elaborate on when the most recent Bitcoin halving occurred? Understanding the timing and implications of these events is crucial for those who want to navigate the crypto landscape effectively. I'm particularly interested in the specifics of the most recent halving, including the date it took place and any notable market reactions that followed.
