The economics of bitcoin mining improved in the first half of November, JPMorgan calculated.
The economics of bitcoin mining improved in the first half of November, calculated JPMorgan. The reason for this was the growth in mining profitability due to the increase in the rate of the first cryptocurrency, CoinDesk writes, citing the investment bank's experts.
They drew attention to the fact that the Bitcoin Hashprice index, an indicator of mining profitability, has increased by 29% since the end of October. This is because BTC exchange rate growth has outpaced hash rate growth in the bitcoin network, and transaction fees have increased as a percentage of the reward per block, explained analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pierce.
The Miners Are Evolving: Trends in the Cryptocurrency Mining Market
The cryptocurrency mining market is undergoing a significant evolution as miners adapt to new challenges and opportunities. As the difficulty in mining popular cryptocurrencies such as the Bitcoin increases, the industry has seen a shift towards more efficient technologies and innovative strategies to remain profitable.
Miners are leveraging cutting-edge hardware such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to optimise efficiency and reduce power consumption. In addition, the adoption of immersion cooling and other advanced cooling methods is helping miners maintain high performance while reducing operating costs.
On 19 November, the Hashprice index was around $58.79. This means that a miner can earn this amount in a day with an equipment capacity of 1 PH/s.
From 31 October to 15 November, the total market capitalisation of the shares of public mining companies, the price of which is monitored by JPMorgan, increased by 33%, or around $8 billion, experts say. In their view, this is due not only to the growth of BTC, but also to general optimism about cryptocurrencies after the US presidential election on 5 November.
The difficulty of mining is also at an all-time high. On 18 November, it reached 102.29T.Bitcoin mining has become more complex with the entry of new participants.
As bitcoin mining becomes increasingly competitive, miners are diversifying their operations to include alternative coins such as Ethereum Classic, Litecoin and new Proof-of-Stake hybrid currencies. This diversification helps spread risks and capitalise on emerging opportunities in the cryptocurrency sector.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrency mining has been integrated into the legal framework as of 1 November. As of 1 December, authorities plan to restrict mining in certain regions to prevent overloading of power grids.
