Bitcoin’s Last Difficulty Drop Likely to Be Erased in 3 Days

Bitcoin’s hashrate is on the rise once again, edging closer to the peak levels seen at the end of July. Despite a recent 4.19% dip in difficulty during the last retarget, current projections suggest that this drop might soon be history. On Aug. 28, the difficulty is expected to bounce back, potentially increasing by 4% or more.

Accelerated Block Intervals and Growing Hashrate Indicate 4.19% Difficulty Reduction Could Vanish

According to Luxor’s hashrateindex.com, Bitcoin’s hashrate is currently cruising at 660 exahash per second (EH/s), just 17 EH/s shy of the 677 EH/s peak recorded on July 25, 2024. It’s been 11 days since Bitcoin’s last difficulty adjustment, during which miners enjoyed a 4.19% decrease in difficulty, making it that much easier to find BTC blocks.

Bitcoin network hashrate on Aug. 25, 2024.

As the hashrate remains high, block intervals—or the time between mined blocks—have been averaging around nine minutes and 36 seconds, slightly faster than the usual ten-minute mark. Because of this quicker pace, the recent difficulty reduction may be nearly, if not entirely, undone by Aug. 28 or when 420 more blocks are mined.

This could push the difficulty to its all-time high of 90.67 trillion or possibly even beyond in just under 72 hours. Currently, Bitcoin’s difficulty stands at 86.87 trillion, which is the target hash miners must meet to validate a new BTC block.

A higher difficulty means bitcoin miners need to put in more computational power to secure a block, while a lower difficulty makes it easier to find valid hashes and add new blocks to the chain. As Bitcoin’s hashrate inches closer to its previous peak, miners might soon experience a reversal of the recent ease in difficulty.

With block intervals consistently falling just below the ten-minute mark and the network powered by 660 EH/s, the groundwork is being laid for this shift.
