Increase In Hash Rates Reflects High Investor Confidence In Bitcoin\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hash rate and mining difficulty correlate; therefore, as the Bitcoin mining difficulty increases, the hash rate follows a similar trend. <\/span>Although calculating the hash rate is tricky and challenging, the ongoing figure is about to break the existing record high of 538.05 EH\/s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an August 22 report: CryptoQuant analyst MAC_D attributed the increased hash rate to high confidence in BTC and ETH network reliability and security among investors. <\/span><\/p>\n

MAC-D <\/span>wrote:<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Recently the prices of BTC and ETH have fallen by 10%. However, the network security and reliability have increased.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also identified two plausible reasons behind the uptick in the hash rate. Firstly, the analyst explained that Bitcoin\u2019s hash rate increased during the recent price decline. He said the observation depicts that miners became more active amid the downtrend. Secondly, MAC_D mentioned that staked ETH has increased despite the decline in Ether price.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the analyst believes the fall in price suggests BTC and ETH have become undervalued. And according to him, this presents an opportunity for bullish investors to accumulate more assets in anticipation of the next bull run.<\/span><\/p>\n

This assumption must have prompted miners to increase their mining capacity, increasing the hash rate and difficulty. And data from the on-chain analytics platform Glassnode supports these claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Glassnode <\/span>data<\/span><\/a>, there has been a slight increase in the number of BTC in the portfolios of mining firms. <\/span>As of August 22, miners’ BTC holdings hovered over 1.83 million Bitcoin. This figure represents a 0.08% increase from the value at the beginning of August.<\/span><\/p>\n
