Bitcoin hashrate tops 1 ZH/s for the first time since March
- —Seven-day average hashrate exceeded 1 ZH/s (1,000 EH/s)
- —Difficulty rose 5.92% to 140.58 T on October 16
- —Next adjustment projected to add another ~5.16%
- —Bitdeer's own hashrate reached 82.3 EH/s, up from 35 EH/s a year ago
Why it matters: A rising hashrate strengthens network security and is seen as an indirect bullish signal, though it intensifies competition among remaining miners.
