“# Hash rate and difficulty rebound shows miners have recovered from China exodus <\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Bitcoin mining operations are on the path to full recovery following the most dramatic short-term disruption in network history earlier this year, and miners are reaping the rewards in revenues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In its Oct. 4 Week on Chain <\/em>report, on-chain analytics provider Glassnode reports that Bitcoin hashrate has largely recovered despite 50% of the network\u2019s hashing power going offline in May following China\u2019s crackdown on the sector. Hash rate measures the total computational resources of a Proof-of-Work network.<\/p>\n

Glassnode asserts that both hash rate and mining difficulty \u2014 which measures competition among miners seeking to solve the network\u2019s next block \u2014 are both on a \u201cconsistent path to recovery.\u201d Cointelegraph reported that difficulty slumped by 28% in early July.<\/p>\n

Having increased 39% since late July, mining difficulty has nearly returned to its pre-China exodus levels, with an additional upward adjustment expected to take place this week.\u00a0Glassnode also reported that the difficulty ribbon has posted its strongest reversal since December 2018.<\/p>\n

As observed<\/a> by Chinese media<\/a> outlet Wu Blockchain, Bitcoin\u2019s difficulty increased by 4.71% at block height 703,584 on Oct. 5. It is the sixth consecutive increase since July 31.<\/p>\n

Despite block rewards having been slashed by 50% from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC in May 2020 halving event, mining profitability has increased significantly since.<\/p>\n

Glassnode noted that the current mining profitability of $40 million daiy is up 275% since before Bitcoin\u2019s May 2020 halving, and has increased by roughly 630% compared to June 2020\u2019s lows of roughly between $6 million and $8 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite dramatic shifts in the mining market, multiple deep price corrections, and a halving event in May 2020, the Bitcoin block reward value continues to rise, creating incentives for the market to adapt, innovate and recover,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n
