BTC hash rate has reached an all-time high.

According to CoinDesk on the 21st (local time), the BTC hash rate has increased by 6% over the past week, reaching 703EH/s. Hash rate is a unit used to measure mining capability in the cryptocurrency industry.

Miner revenue has exceeded $50 (about 6,899 won) PH/s. This is the highest in two months. The increase in transaction fees due to the on-chain launch of the Rune protocol on October 17 and the rise in BTC prices are cited as the background.

The BTC mining difficulty is expected to increase by more than 4% on October 23. BTC difficulty is adjusted every 2,016 blocks (about 2 weeks) based on the hash rate.
