Bitcoin’s mining complexity has surpassed its all-time peak with its recent increase, the second in as many weeks, according to on-chain statistics. Bitcoin’s mining difficulty rose by 3.45% at block height 753,984 to 32.05 trillion hashes.
This is the second latest rise of significance. On August 31, complexity increased by 9.26%. Considering bitcoin’s depreciated value, recent drops on high CPI figures, and a potential bottoming down as low as $10,000, revenue of miners is diminishing.

On-chain information reveals that Foundry USA, which is held by DCG, contributes 28% of the worldwide hash rate, trailed by AntPool at 16.15%.
