Author: Content Editor
In December, the crypto mining sector experienced significant economic improvements, with mining profitability reaching its highest levels in seven months. The hashprice for Wall Street Bitcoin Miners increased by 5% since November. Daily block reward revenue reached $57,300 per exahash per second, marking a seven-month peak. The network's total hashrate expanded by 6%, and Bitcoin miners sold over 140,000 BTC in December. Additionally, daily earnings reached approximately $50 million, the highest since April. However, increased mining difficulty has created challenges for miners. Some miners are choosing to issue bonds to raise funds and build up their BTC reserves.
