Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 23, 2024) - Wellfield Technologies Inc. (TSXV: WFLD) is pleased to comment on the recent Bitcoin halving, a significant event that reduces the reward for mining Bitcoin transactions and theoretically increases the cryptocurrency's scarcity and value. Occurring approximately every four years, this halving is the first since the launch of US-based spot Bitcoin ETF products earlier this year, signaling broader adoption and recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate and institutional-grade asset class.

As Bitcoin's global recognition grows, supply rates continue to decrease through halving events, and new investment products increase adoption, Wellfield anticipates significant advancements in decentralized finance (DeFi) in the Bitcoin ecosystem. The Company is positioning for growth in its Bitcoin business lines at Coinmama and through its innovative Bitcoin-based DeFi technology, further reinforced by recent patent application developments.

"With the launch and historic adoption of spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year, the latest halving reminds us of Bitcoin's consistency and persistence as the foundational global blockchain asset," said Levy Cohen, CEO of Wellfield. "Following the development of our patent applications, which are well positioned to capture the opportunities in Bitcoin DeFi, these recent milestones further bolster our confidence in Bitcoin's capability to continue anchoring the growth of our retail business line, Coinmama, and its new product launches."
