As miners from China slowly settled in cryptocurrency-friendly areas, the mining difficulty of the Bitcoin ecosystem rose by 13.77% for two consecutive times, exceeding 15 terahash (T) for the first time since the second week of June. It is expected that the next adjustment will begin on August 27, and it is estimated that the difficulty will soar to 15.63 terahash.
Before China cracked down on local miners, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty reached a peak of 25 terahash. The sudden decrease in the number of miners in China has reduced competition for confirmation of blocks. This allows existing miners on the network to obtain higher profits.Data from Statista show China’s contribution to Bitcoin mining has been reduced to nearly 46%, while the United States has filled the vacancy and owns nearly 17% of the global mining power.
