Earlier this month, the metric retreated from its previous peak of 123.23 T, dropping by 3.34%<\/a>. A recovery followed two weeks later, with a 2.12% increase to 121.66 T.<\/p>\n

According to Glassnode<\/a>, the hash rate (7 DMA<\/span>) stands at 919.3 EH\/s. This figure remains below both the all-time high ATH<\/span> of 925.4 EH\/s reached on April 8 and the May peak of 925.3 EH\/s.<\/p>\n

Data from Hashrate Index<\/a> indicates that the increase in difficulty has pushed the hash price<\/span> down from around $57 per PH\/s per day to approximately $52.<\/p>\n

The approximately 9% decline signifies a return of mining profitability to levels seen in early May, before Bitcoin’s rally above $100,000 to new highs.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency’s price had fallen below $104,000<\/a>, exerting additional pressure on mining profitability. Previously, the divergence between hash rate dynamics and Bitcoin’s price raised concerns<\/a> about the network’s long-term sustainability among some community members. Others viewed the trend as a sign of strong fundamentals<\/a> for digital gold.<\/p>\n
