Bitcoin Protocol Upgrades: Impact on HIBT
With Bitcoin’s dominance reaching 52% in 2025, protocol upgrades are reshaping the crypto landscape. For platforms like HIBT, these changes create both opportunities and challenges. Let’s break down what this means for investors and traders.
Why Bitcoin Upgrades Matter for HIBT
Bitcoin’s Taproot upgrade (2021) increased transaction privacy, but the 2025 Schnorr/Taproot 2.0 update takes this further. Transaction fees dropped 35% post-upgrade, directly benefiting HIBT users who make frequent trades.
Key Improvements in 2025
- Faster block validation (2.1s vs 3.5s previously)
- Reduced energy consumption by 18% (Cambridge 2025 data)
- Enhanced smart contract capabilities
HIBT’s Adaptation Strategy
Vietnam’s crypto market grew 210% in 2024 (Chainalysis), making “tiêu chuẩn an ninh blockchain” (blockchain security standards) crucial. HIBT implemented:
| Feature | Impact |

| Lightning Network | Handles 15,000 TPS during peak hours |
For Long-Term Investors
