Bitcoin 2024 halving will be its ‘most important’ — Interview with Charles Edwards
Bitcoin (BTC) stands at the start of a “new regime” after its early 2023 price gains, and next year will prove pivotal.
That is the opinion of Charles Edwards, founder of quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole Investments.
As investment behavior around Bitcoin recovers in line with network fundamentals and price action, Edwards, perhaps like many other institutional professionals, is gearing up for an explosive period of growth.
The jury may still be out on whether the bottom is in for BTC’s price, but for long-term investors, the time to allocate is just beginning, he argues.
In an extensive interview with Cointelegraph, Edwards reflects on the prospects for Bitcoin and the crypto industry in the coming years and whether the 2023 rebound has legs.

Hong Kong moves bullish
On Feb. 20, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong launched a consultation on its proposed regulatory requirements for digital asset trading platforms.
The SFC requires the licensing of all cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Hong Kong, or soliciting services from Hong Kong investors, by June 2023.
In addition, the SFC said it will seek feedback on whether licensed platform operators should be allowed to provide services to retail investors and what measures should be implemented to ensure suitability and token inclusion when establishing business relationships with customers.
Currently, retail trading of cryptocurrencies is banned in Hong Kong. The announcement that the special administrative region of China was dipping its toes back into crypto immediately set off bullish reactions from everyday users and executives alike. Brian Armstrong, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase,wrote:
