What else is known? Typically, miners send earnings to the exchange to cash out funds to cover expenses and take profits.

On June 3, 2023, Glassnode analysts reported $70,8 million directed to the platforms.

Despite the rise in the BTC rate, miners are facing challenges such as increased mining difficulty and higher electricity prices. For example, since June 2022, the profitability of mining has fallen more than 30%, and since the peak of the bull market in 2021, it has fallen more than 80%.

In May, miners’ revenues were up 13,7% compared to April. Cryptocurrency miners earned $916 million, including $120 million in transaction fees.

By the end of 2022, Russian miners earned ~ 50-60 billion Russian rubles, which brought the country to second place in the world ranking after the United States.
