According to the Daily Planet, Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin computing power (14-day moving average) has reached a historical high of 566 EH/s. Previously, on February 2, the difficulty of Bitcoin mining was raised to 75.5 T.
Over the past three weeks, the Bitcoin hashrate has surged 12% since the lows caused by the severe freeze in Texas, U.S. If the hashrate continues to grow at this rate, the next mining difficulty adjustment (scheduled for around February 15) is expected to increase by 7% to 12%.
According to data from Clarkmoody.com, the increase in computing power may bring forward the expected halving date (April 19 as of press time), and the Bitcoin network is approximately 10,629 blocks away from the halving.
