Key Highlights: Bitcoin network hashrate has reclaimed the 1 zettahash per second (1,000 EH/s) milestone on a seven-day average, driving consecutive upward difficulty adjustments. The computational rebound persists even as publicly traded mining firms pivot infrastructure away from crypto toward artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC). Hashrate gains are being fueled by aggressive expansion from ...
Key Highlights: Bitcoin mining difficulty surged by 5.92%, moving from 132.72 trillion to a seven-month high of 140.58 trillion. The adjustment marks the third-largest difficulty increase of the year and the 10th positive adjustment across 21 total revisions in 2024.
