Bitcoin’s hashrate experienced a large drop of almost 35% in a single day. The hashrate plummeted from 108 exahash per second (EH/s) yesterday to today’s 69 EH/s, seeing one of the sharpest declines in the network. This might be a consequence of the situation going on with miners in China. Numbers further estimate a mining difficulty drop of around 23.7% next week.
Bitcoin Hashrate Plummets
The Bitcoin hashrate, the amount of work that secures the Bitcoin network, has experienced a sharp decline in the last week. In just a day, the hashrate dropped from 108 EH/s to 69EH/s, a decline of almost 35%. It’s worth noting that intraday hashrate records are not always reliable and the 35% drop may be a lower figure a few days from now.
It is one of the biggest hashrate drops that the Bitcoin network has seen in the last few years and it is affecting the operation of Bitcoin’s transaction confirmation times.
