Crypto Mining – The Bitcoin hash rate has increased drastically even after the price of the leading crypto asset slumped below the $50,000 price zone. eight days ago, the network hash rate was 168 exahash per second (EH/s) and last week it increased 7.73% to reach today's 181 EH/s.
Bitcoin Hash Rate Rises Higher After Difficulty Decreases
After the price drop below the $50,000 zone, the Bitcoin hash rate remains strong and has increased by more than 7% over the past week. BTC's hash rate on Sunday was 181.59 EH/s as the network's processing power hits daily highs.
According to Coinwarz statistics, Bitcoin (BTC) hash quarterly metrics on December 5, 2021.
Quarterly statistics show that the hash rate of BTC reached 190 EH/s on Friday, Dec. The metrics show that the network's hash rate hit an all-time high of 191.42 EH/s on May 9, 2021. One reason the hash rate has remained high despite the recent price drop is seen as the network's mining difficulty dropped during the last difficulty change on November 28.
