In order to revisit its all-time high, Bitcoin (BTC) miners should raise its hashrate by 2%, as of now. The CryptoQuant team stresses that this should be treated as a positive sign for the market.
In the midterm, the higher hashrate is a result of recovering revenues and miners being fairly paid now after experiencing an extremely underpaid situation since April, when BTC halving reduced block rewards by 50%.
Daily miner revenues have increased by almost 50% since early July, which appears to be the period of “maximum pain” for the segment.
As covered by U.Today, in mid-April, BTC block rewards for miners dropped to 3,125 Bitcoins (BTC) per block.
Namely, daily Bitcoin (BTC) miner outflows have remained between 5,000-10,000 in July, which is roughly equal to 50% of March 2024 levels.
However, Bitcoin (BTC) miners remain dependent on BTC price volatility. Daily transaction fees dropped by orders of magnitude in recent months, researchers say.
