Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has been moving sideways ever since the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38345043/bitcoin-shrugs-off-fourth-halving-miner-rewards-halved-price-holds-strong"> halving event that took place late Friday,</a> and Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest on Monday weighed in on the potential impact of the event.
What Happened: The growth in Bitcoin supply fell from 1.8% to 0.9% at an annual rate, said Yassine Elmandjra, Director of Digital Assets, at Ark. The crypto&#8217;s supply growth, therefore fell below the supply of gold, which is estimated to be 1.7% in 2023, he said.
Explaining the process of halving, the analyst noted that due to Bitcoin&#8217;s &#8220;mathematically metered supply growth,&#8221; the reward for mining a block halves every 210,000 blocks, and this takes place roughly every four years. The first halving that occurred in November 2012, reduced the reward from 50 to 25 bitcoins per block and Friday's halving reduced the block reward from 6.25 to 3.125 bitcoins per block, he added.
&#8220;The halving is critical to Bitcoin's design, highlighting its predictable monetary policy and Bitcoin's role as a scarce asset,&#8221; the analyst said.
&#8220;By reducing miner rewards by 50% every four years, Bitcoin lowers the supply growth &#8230; on a predetermined schedule, guaranteeing that the total number of bitcoins outstanding will never exceed 21 million, its predetermined cap.&#8221;

On the contrary, sovereign or government-backed currencies&#8217; supply growth can be adjusted at will by central bank policymakers, Elmandjra said.
Bitcoin&#8217;s circulation currently stood at about 19.7 million, which is only 6.5% below the 21 million at which it is capped, he said.
The analyst also flagged the possibility of an imminent rally. &#8220;Since its inception 15 years ago, Bitcoin's halving has taken place in the context of extended bull market runs,&#8221; he said. In the 12 months following the three previous halvings, Bitcoin&#8217;s price appreciation has ranged from about 285% to about 8,478.2%, with an average gain of around 3,108%, he said.
Why It&#8217;s Important: Bitcoin rallied hard in the run-up to the halving event but has seen lackluster sentiment since then. The crypto peaked at $73,750.07 on March 14, with the optimism that lingered after the launch of the spot Bitcoin ETFs contributing to the strength.
After coming off the level and breaking below the $70,000 barrier, the crypto resumed its uptrend ahead of the halving. Come April along with the risky bets, Bitcoin came under pressure due to fears that the Federal Reserve may not cut rates this year amid stubbornly high inflation.
The Fed may have to reverse its rate hikes some time down the line, which could reignite a rally in all risky bets. 
While Ark&#8217;s comparison with gold supply suggests Bitcoin is becoming less inflationary than the yellow metal, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/38015516/is-bitcoin-digital-gold-peter-schiff-says-perhaps-it-never-will-make-a-new-high-pri">Peter Schiff has always shunned branding it as</a> a form of digital gold. 
At last check, Bitcoin was little changed at $66,145.63, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Says Bitcoin Could Be Priming For Over 3,000% Rally Over Next 12 Months As King Crypto Becomes Less Inflationary Than Gold After Halving

President Joe Biden held a meeting with U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D &#8211; N.Y.) and other liberal lawmakers on Monday, as internal disagreements within the Democratic party over his support for Israel&#8217;s response to the Hamas attack continue to escalate.
What Happened: On Tuesday, President Biden had a meeting with Ocasio-Cortez, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-V.T.) and Ed Markey (D &#8211; Mass.) all of whom have openly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s Gaza bombing campaign, Reuters reported. The meeting took place after Biden&#8217;s return from an Earth Day event in Virginia.
These lawmakers have previously voiced their opposition to Israel&#8217;s policies, with Ocasio-Cortez likening the humanitarian situation in Gaza to &#8220;an unfolding genocide.&#8221; Despite these disagreements, Ocasio-Cortez has supported Biden&#8217;s reelection, emphasizing the need to safeguard democracy both at home and abroad.

Why It Matters: This meeting occurs as Biden&#8217;s endorsement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38350131/biden-reaffirms-ironclad-support-for-israel-amid-passover-hamas-conflict">Israel&#8217;s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack</a> has created divisions within the Democratic party, potentially influencing Biden&#8217;s voter base ahead of the November presidential election. The White House and the lawmakers have not disclosed the topics discussed during the meeting.
Biden&#8217;s administration has maintained its backing for Israel, while increasingly highlighting the Palestinian humanitarian crisis. This follows Israel&#8217;s military offensive in response to the Hamas attack, which, as reported by Gaza&#8217;s health ministry, has led to the death of 34,000 Palestinians.
The meeting also comes in the wake of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38353867/israeli-military-intel-chief-resigns-over-hamas-attack-failures-i-have-carried-that-black-day-with-m">resignation of Major General Aharon Haliva</a>, the head of Israeli military intelligence, who took responsibility for the intelligence failures that led to a devastating Hamas-led attack on Israel in 2023.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has opened up the Quest operating system that powers its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meta-quest">mixed reality devices</a> to third-party hardware manufacturers, taking a leaf out of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google playbook.
What Happened: Meta will collaborate with other hardware manufacturers to help them power their mixed reality headsets with its Quest operating system. This move is the result of Meta's investments in mixed reality, starting with Oculus in 2014 for $2 billion.
The company is collaborating with leading global technology firms to create a new ecosystem of mixed-reality devices. This will provide developers with a broader range of hardware to run their apps, similar to the PC and smartphone markets.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
The new hardware ecosystem will be powered by Meta Horizon OS, the mixed-reality operating system that drives the Meta Quest headsets. This OS combines core technologies that power today&#8217;s mixed reality experiences with features that prioritize social presence.

Meta will also leverage its partnership with Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), to help manufacturers hop onto the Quest platform.
Meta is also making it easier for developers to reach their audiences by removing barriers between the Meta Horizon Store and App Lab, a platform that allows any developer who meets basic technical and content requirements to release software.
Why It Matters: Meta's decision to open up the Quest operating system adopts the strategy that Google used with Android. Smartphone makers like Samsung Electronics Co Ltd., Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others use Android, while Google does most of its core development.
Earlier, Meta also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38358203/mark-zuckerberg-wont-just-open-source-instagrams-code-but-would-he-do-it-for-a-10b-ai-model-he-says">open-sourced</a> its latest AI model, Llama 3, while CEO Mark Zuckerberg underscored the company's philosophy on open-sourcing technology.
Broadly, it follows the same path as Google took with Android – it standardizes the ecosystem, and several players, including Google itself, benefit from the economies of scale it results in.
Meta also recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/04/38364762/microsoft-meta-reveal-limited-edition-meta-quest-vr-headset-with-game-pass-bundle">collaborated with Microsoft</a> to produce a limited edition Meta Quest VR headset inspired by Xbox.

Price Action: Meta's stock closed 0.14% up at $481.73 on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Policy analyst Ed Mills from Raymond James anticipates that the popular social media platform TikTok may cease operations in the U.S. next year.
What Happened: On Monday, Mills expressed his views on the future of TikTok in the U.S. during CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Last Call.&#8221;
He stated, "Once this was added on to the bills last week, this [became] inevitable," ahead of the Senate vote on the TikTok crackdown bill. 
Mills explained that the bill aims to prevent TikTok from seeking a favorable judge, instead placing the case in the DC Circuit Court of Appeal, a court likely to side with Congress and the President. This would allow the forced divestiture to proceed.
"In my opinion, come next year TikTok as we know it will not operate here in the U.S,&#8221; Mills added.
His comments come in the wake of the U.S. House of Representatives passing a bill that could significantly impact TikTok&#8217;s future in the U.S. The legislation proposes that TikTok must be sold within a year or face a ban from U.S. app stores.

A popular asset allocation strategy promoted by hedge funds, including&nbsp;Bridgewater Associates&#8216;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ray-dalio" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ray Dalio</a>, is reportedly facing investor redemptions after underperforming promises.
What Happened:&nbsp;Bridgewater and other hedge funds promised superior returns with their &#8220;risk-parity portfolios,&#8221; but after half a decade of subpar performance, investors are pulling their money out, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/capital-markets/ray-dalios-famous-trade-is-sputtering-and-investors-are-bailing" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.&nbsp;
Large investors, including public pension funds in New Mexico, Oregon, and Ohio, have withdrawn their investments, leading to a $70 billion decline in these funds from their peak three years ago. This comes despite reassurances from hedge funds that things could improve in the next decade.
Risk parity was successful only during the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-09 and &#8220;that was really its heyday,&#8221; said Eileen Neill, as per the report, whose firm advises New Mexico&#8217;s $17 billion worth of public employee pension.
Since 2019, risk-parity funds have consistently underperformed the standard 60/40 global stock-bond mix, according to a broad industry index, as per the report. This lackluster performance has led to a significant investor exodus, with Verus estimates compiled from eVestment data showing a drop in risk-parity fund assets from a peak of $160 billion in 2021 to roughly $90 billion by the end of 2023.
What Is Risk-Parity?&nbsp;A&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/09/29068486/2022-made-sure-even-risk-parity-strategies-dont-work-this-etf-lost-over-28-this-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">risk-parity portfolio</a>, according to a University of Massachusetts Amherst paper, &#8220;defines a well-diversified portfolio as one where all asset classes have the same marginal contribution to the total risk of the portfolio.&#8221; This approach prioritizes risk management over chasing high returns and involves portfolio rebalancing and leverage.
Unlike traditional 60/40 stock-to-bond portfolios, risk-parity focuses on risk distribution rather than dollar amounts invested in each asset class.
The risk-parity portfolio was first launched in 1996 to manage Dalio&#8217;s trust assets, as per Bloomberg, and was lauded as a way to &#8220;use deep economic research to craft the best possible portfolio, instead of trying to call the next big thing.&#8221;
Instead of taking on high risk in a bid to chase superior returns, the approach propounded diversification across an array of assets such as commodities and bonds, with each as an equal driver of the portfolio&#8217;s volatility.

Defenders Of The Strategy:&nbsp;Proponents of the strategy argue that exiting now, with stocks at record highs, is a &#8220;classic investor error.&#8221; Bridgewater claims its &#8220;All Weather&#8221; fund that targets 10% volatility may be underperforming currently, but believes risk-parity remains superior for long-term investing, especially with potential stagnation in stock gains.
The &#8220;All Weather&#8221; iteration fell 22% in 2022, with&nbsp;Michael Markov&nbsp;of Markov Processes<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/09/29068486/2022-made-sure-even-risk-parity-strategies-dont-work-this-etf-lost-over-28-this-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;blaming the underperformance</a>&nbsp;on it being less reactive to short-term market swings and correlation changes.
Risk-parity funds also face stiff competition from private credit funds and top hedge funds with consistent returns. 
Michael Shackelford, chief investment officer at the Public Employees Retirement Association of New Mexico, reportedly said, &#8220;If I'm going to have 6% or 8% of my portfolio in something else, I'd rather that something else be a bucket of really good performing hedge funds.&#8221;
Investors should focus on future performance, argued&nbsp;Jordan Brooks&nbsp;of&nbsp;AQR Capital Management, whose firm manages $13.7 billion in risk-parity investments. &#8220;It's investors' job at the end of the day not to look backward but forward to what's the best portfolio to navigate the next decade,&#8221; he said.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), an exchange-traded fund that mirrors the S&amp;P 500 Index, ended Monday&#8217;s session up 0.92% at $499.72, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a> data. The RPAR Risk Parity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPAR#NYSE">RPAR</a>) closed the previous session 0.16% lower at $18.63 and is down over 5% over the past year.
