Public Bitcoin Miners Cut Hashrate by 21% Over Three Quarters

Over the past nine months, the realized hash rate of a group of public bitcoin miners (excluding Bitdeer) has fallen by 21.2%, dropping from 368.3 EH/s in Q4 2025 to 319.0 EH/s in Q2 2026. According to MinerWeekly, companies are reducing mining capacity to shift resources towards AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. While the overall Bitcoin network's hash rate also declined, the drop was softer at 10.6%, decreasing from an average of 1,071 EH/s in Q4 2025 to 957 EH/s in Q2 2026. Bitdeer notably offset industry trends, increasing its realized hash rate by 44% to 63 EH/s. Analysts attribute the shift to growing revenue from colocation and AI compute services. For example, in Q2 2026, Core Scientific earned $136.7 million from additional deployments versus $27.5 million from bitcoin mining. Similarly, TeraWulf generated $31.9 million (71% of its total) from HPC leasing, compared to $12.8 million from mining. However, the transition is uneven, with companies like Riot Platforms and Bitdeer still deriving most revenue from mining-related activities. The current downturn is characterized as a result of weak mining economics and competition for capital and electricity from AI workloads. The report recalls a similar, though temporary, hash rate decline following China's mining ban in June 2021.

XRP Price Falls 69% from Peak While Activity of Existing Wallets Increases

The price of XRP has fallen approximately 69% from its January 2025 peak of around $3.30, trading near $1.00 in mid-August, its lowest level since November 2024. However, blockchain activity shows a contrasting trend. Data from Santiment reveals that the average daily number of active XRP addresses surged by about 35% in August compared to July, reaching around 35,700. Notably, August 11th was the most active day since early June. This increase in network usage occurred without a corresponding rise in new user adoption. The average number of new addresses created daily remained virtually flat at around 2,260. The analysis indicates that existing wallet holders are transacting more frequently, rather than a wave of new users entering the network. Other metrics show mixed signals. The number of wallets holding at least 1 million XRP tokens increased by 32 over three months, even as the token's market cap fell. Institutional access is growing through regulated derivatives, with CME Group launching products and open interest previously exceeding $1 billion. Corporate use cases, like payroll, are also cited, though they do not directly explain the short-term spike in address activity. The data suggests heightened engagement from the existing holder base amid a significant price decline.

Bitcoin Down 20% Over the Past 90 Days, While Stocks Have Risen

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin has underperformed stocks significantly. Over the past 90 days, Bitcoin fell 20%, a drop four times larger than the S&P 500's 5% gain. This year, the crypto market has been the worst-performing among major asset classes, with Bitcoin down 35% and altcoins down 57% since January. In contrast, commodities like gold, copper, and silver, alongside stock indices, have posted substantial gains. Glassnode states the market will remain stock-dominated until Bitcoin begins to recover its relative performance against these indices. This trend persisted over the past week. Notably, in July, Bitcoin and Ethereum posted gains of 9% and 20% respectively, diverging from a broader stock market correction and breaking their previously high correlation with tech stocks. Robert Mitchnick of BlackRock views this decoupling from equities as "useful" for investors seeking diversification, calling July a potential turning point. He noted improving market sentiment and a resumed inflow into Bitcoin ETFs, with BlackRock's IBIT seeing significant August inflows. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had their strongest week since mid-April in early August.

Due to Bitcoin's Decline, Satoshi Nakamoto's Fortune Shrinks by $67 Billion

Updated: August 10, 2026. Bitcoin has fallen 48% from its all-time high, significantly impacting the wealth attributed to its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. According to analytics platform Arkham, wallets linked to Nakamoto hold approximately 1.096 million BTC. While the total value of these holdings reached $138 billion at the peak price of $126,198 per coin, it has now dropped to around $71.19 billion with Bitcoin trading near $65,000—resulting in an unrealized loss of roughly $67 billion. Bitcoin's current price levels are comparable to those of September 2024. Despite the bear market, the drawdown is less severe than in previous cycles when declines approached 80%. However, market sentiment remains pessimistic. Co-founder of Glassnode, Rafael Schultze-Kraft, notes extremely low spot volumes and daily turnover rates, indicating weak investor interest and reduced activity in Bitcoin spot ETFs. Overall, bearish sentiment prevails, though a long-term recovery is possible if demand increases. Meanwhile, Strategy has continued selling its Bitcoin reserves, offloading 1,690 BTC from August 3–9 to fund stock buybacks. Its dollar reserves have now grown to $4.65 billion, while its Bitcoin holdings have decreased to 840,447 BTC.

Two Expert Analysts Warn and Reveal Critical Levels to Defend to Prevent a New Bitcoin Drop!

Bitcoin is currently trading just below $65,000, having gained 4% over the past week. However, expert commodity trader and analyst Peter Brandt warns that downside risks persist. He suggests Bitcoin could re-test lower levels, particularly the $58,000 to $62,000 range, especially if the current chart breaks a key downward trend. Brandt previously highlighted a potential head and shoulders pattern from April to June that could lead to a decline toward $58,000. On-chain analyst Axel Adler adds that while Bitcoin's price has fallen well below its historical average, a full market capitulation has not yet occurred. He identifies $57,600 as a critical threshold; a drop below this level could further weaken market structure and increase selling pressure. On the positive side, Adler notes that a sustained recovery above $72,000, coupled with a return of the MVRV Z-Score to its long-term average of 1.69, could signal the start of a significant recovery phase. Both analysts emphasize that Bitcoin remains at a critical juncture with key support levels to watch.

July Trading Platform Rankings: Spot Market Falls 35%, Derivatives Trading Remains Resilient

In July 2026, trading volume on mainstream Centralized Exchanges (CEX) showed a significant decline, with spot trading dropping 35.51% compared to June, while perpetual contract trading fell by a lesser 19.59%. This indicates that leveraged trading demand remained relatively more resilient despite an overall market cooldown. Interestingly, CEX website traffic increased by 3.00%, yet app downloads decreased by 2.09%, suggesting that increased user reach did not translate into higher trading activity, with market观望情绪 (wait-and-see sentiment) still dominant. The decentralized exchange (DEX) sector also experienced declines. Perpetual contract volume on mainstream Perp DEX platforms decreased by 26.88%, accompanied by a 10.57% drop in website traffic. A note accompanying the data cautions that部分数据可能存在严重的刷量 / 机器人嫌疑 (some data may be heavily suspected of wash trading/bot activity). Data sources include Coingecko for spot and derivatives, Similarweb for traffic, and点点平台 for download metrics.

Double Warning for Bitcoin (BTC): Analyst Reveals Critical Level That Could Accelerate Decline, Major Player Bets Against This Price Level in September! Here's...

Bitcoin is experiencing a period of consolidation around the $60,000 level, but analyst Axel Adler warns of a key threshold. According to his analysis of the BTC UTXO stress indicator, Bitcoin has re-entered a high-stress zone, with the indicator rising to 71.58, suggesting a significant portion of circulating supply is held at a loss and selling pressure is building. Adler notes that the indicator was more neutral at 41 a year ago. He states that while stress recently declined, a weekly positive momentum of +3 indicates renewed pressure. The critical level for BTC is $61,500. A drop below this, coupled with the UTXO stress indicator rising above 90, could accelerate selling and lead to further price declines. Conversely, if the indicator falls below 70 with negative momentum, pressure would ease. Separately, an anonymous major investor has placed a bet against Bitcoin's price rising, selling $173 million in options contracts betting that BTC will not surpass $70,000 before September 25. If BTC stays below that level, the investor keeps a $3.03 million premium. This positions reflects significant market skepticism about a near-term breakout.

Interest in Bitcoin in the US Has Fallen to Nearly a Five-Year Low

Despite President Trump's favorable stance and policy focus on cryptocurrencies, interest in Bitcoin within the United States, as measured by Google Trends search volume, has fallen to near a five-year low. The current popularity score for "Bitcoin" in early August is only 18, less than one-fifth of the peak interest seen during a major sell-off in February. This decline occurs even as the crypto ecosystem anticipates a key Senate vote on regulatory legislation and deals with incidents like a recent hardware wallet hack. In a contrasting trend, a report from River indicates that Bitcoin has recently surpassed gold as a preferred investment asset in the U.S., with an estimated 49.6 million American adults reportedly owning Bitcoin compared to 28.8 million owning gold.
