币界网报道：Bitcoin mining difficulty has dropped by 5.7% to 83.1 trillion hashes, marking the largest decrease since the aftermath of FTX's collapse in December 2022. This adjustment comes as Bitcoin's hash price fell to near all-time lows, squeezing miner profitability. The difficulty reduction follows the recent Bitcoin halving in April 2024, which cut block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Some analysts suggest the decline indicates less efficient miners are shutting down operations amid challenging market conditions. The network's hash rate has slightly decreased from its peak of over 700 exahashes per second (EH/s) to around 600 EH/s. This automatic difficulty adjustment occurs every 2,016 blocks (approximately two weeks) to maintain a consistent 10-minute block time, regardless of changes in mining power. The current adjustment could provide temporary relief for remaining miners by improving their chances of solving blocks.
