Under the algorithm, the adjustment occurs every 2016 blocks, mined in roughly two weeks. The rise has continued for a sixth consecutive period.<\/p>\n

After reaching in May 2021 a historic maximum of 25 T<\/a>, the difficulty began to decline. This occurred amid negative hash-rate dynamics<\/a>, with which the metric correlates. The main factor behind this was the Chinese authorities’ crackdown on mining<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the end of June, Bitcoin’s network hashrate fell to July 2019 levels<\/a> as equipment was switched off by Chinese miners. The difficulty showed a record drop of almost 28%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The indicator moved into an uptrend at the end of July<\/a>, together with a recovery in hash-rate<\/a> as miners migrated from the PRC. Bitcoin’s hashrate reached record levels in April<\/a> and has not yet recovered to those levels.<\/p>\n

Also, Ethereum’s hash rate affected by the crackdown on mining<\/a> in China reached a historic maximum<\/a> in August.<\/p>\n
