On July 26, 2025, the Bitcoin (BTC) network registered another difficulty adjustment. This procedure is routine, but this time the oldest blockchain set new records.
New Hashrate Record for Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) reached a historical milestone in its hashrate, exceeding 1 Zettahash per second. According to Clover (formerly BTC.com), at block 907,200, Bitcoin's hashrate reached 1.05 Zettahashes per second, equivalent to over one sextillion hashes per second.
Network Difficulty Increase
The difficulty of the Bitcoin network rose by 1.07% to 127.62 T, marking the smallest increase in over six months. These metrics are indicative of miners' optimism, as both figures continue to rise with the increasing number of computers in the network.
Future of Bitcoin and Predictions
The Bitcoin network's difficulty has increased by nearly 30% over the past year, while the average hashrate has grown by 70%. The next difficulty adjustment is expected in 13 days and is likely to be small but positive. The current price of Bitcoin stands at $118,500, reflecting moderate optimism among traders.
With rising difficulty and hashrate, Bitcoin shows strong growth in the cryptocurrency market, attracting attention from both miners and investors.
