Hashrate is the total computational power in the bitcoin network. The mining difficulty determines the amount of computing power it takes to find a new block in the blockchain. The parameter changes every 2016 blocks, or about once every two weeks. This ensures that the time it takes to find a block is around 10 minutes.
In May, miners transferred 195 663 BTC to cryptocurrency exchanges, which is the biggest monthly flow since January 2022. Based on the average bitcoin price in May ($32 000), the total value of assets transferred to the platforms was around $6,3 billion. According to a report by Compass Mining, cryptocurrency mining became less profitable and its participants started selling their assets on the open market to cover power expenses.
