Tether launches open-source Mining Development Kit linking mining and AI
- —Tether's MDK is an open-source framework linking mining and AI hardware, backed by 15 firms
- —BTC hashrate near 1,100 EH/s; difficulty to rise 6.3% to ~150 trillion on October 29
- —Bitdeer leads with 82.3 EH/s, ahead of MARA at 70.3 EH/s
- —All-in cost of mining a coin is back above its market price
Why it matters: Rising difficulty with costs above price squeezes miner margins and accelerates the shift toward AI infrastructure.
