Bitcoin mining difficulty has been on the rise as the network has gained more popularity. This is a far cry from what was expected after China, which was known as the mining capital of the world at that point, had laid a blanket ban on crypto mining. Bitcoin miners had been able to successfully set up in other regions of the world and mining activities have ramped up since then.

Not only has the mining difficulty been affected by this but its effects are being felt all around the mining industry. Bitcoin Mining Difficulty At New ATH? Block production rates have risen higher than anticipated to beat the previous target of 6 blocks mined per hour. This number now stands at 6.2 blocks mined in an hour.

Going forward, there is expected to be a 4-5% difficulty adjustment in mining difficulty. Related Reading | Cardano Turns Bullish In The Short-Term, But Is That All?
