Bitcoin Miners Pull Back: Hashrate Drops To 3-Month Low

Bitcoin's mining hashrate has dropped to a three-month low of 998 EH/s, a significant decline from its all-time high of 1,151 EH/s recorded in October. This decline indicates that miners are decommissioning their rigs, a trend that typically occurs when mining becomes less profitable. The drop has continued despite a recent 5% price increase in Bitcoin to around $95,500, suggesting miners remain unconvinced of a sustained bullish momentum. As a result of the reduced hashrate, the average block time has slowed to 10.6 minutes. This is expected to trigger an estimated 5.6% decrease in mining difficulty during the next biweekly network adjustment to correct for the slower block production.

Farewell to 'Storytelling' for Funding: What Kind of Projects Can Survive Beyond 2026

Title: Beyond Storytelling: What Projects Will Survive Beyond 2026 The venture capital landscape in crypto has fundamentally shifted. In 2025, top market maker and investor Wintermute Ventures approved only 4% of the 600 projects it reviewed. This reflects a broader trend: total crypto VC deals plummeted 60% from 2024, with capital concentrating heavily in later-stage rounds (56% of total funding). The driver is a radical change in market structure. Institutional capital now dominates (75% of liquidity), but it is largely trapped in major assets like BTC and ETH. The altcoin narrative cycle collapsed from 61 days to just 19-20 days, leaving little time for money to flow to smaller projects. The traditional four-year bull cycle is broken; a 2026 recovery requires a major catalyst. Consequently, VC investment logic has moved from "spray and pray" to a survival-of-the-fittest model. Funding now targets projects that can prove viability from the seed stage. Key requirements for survival include: 1. **Hard Proof of Product-Market Fit:** Real data points are mandatory, such as 1,000+ active users or $100k+ in monthly revenue, with a DAU/MAU ratio above 50%. 2. **Capital Efficiency & Default Alive Status:** Startups must achieve "default alive" status, with monthly burn not exceeding 30% of revenue. Large, cash-burning teams are untenable. 3. **AI Integration & Technical Sophistication:** AI is no longer optional; it's essential for reducing development cycles and optimizing operations. Privacy tech like zero-knowledge proofs is critical for compliance, especially in RWA tokenization. 4. **Liquidity & Exchange Compatibility:** Projects must plan their exchange listing path from day one, ensuring compatibility with institutional liquidity channels like ETFs. For investors, the mandate is clear: adapt or fail. The new standard is not "how big the story can be" but "can this project prove its ability to generate revenue from seed." Investment must focus on AI-crypto fusion, compliance, and emerging markets. The era of betting on narratives is over; execution and sustainable profitability are now the only metrics that matter.

Bitcoin Mining Pressure Eases After First Difficulty Adjustment Of The Year

Bitcoin's mining difficulty decreased to approximately 146.4 trillion in the first adjustment of 2026, offering brief relief to miners. This change occurred as average block times dipped slightly below the 10-minute target. Despite the drop, mining difficulty remains historically high, and miner profitability continues to be pressured by post-halving economics and elevated operational costs. The next adjustment, expected around January 22, 2026, is projected to increase difficulty to around 148 trillion if block times normalize. This periodic recalibration mechanism helps maintain consistent block production, but sustained shifts may signal broader changes in miner behavior and network dynamics.

The Bitcoin Signal Most Investors Overlook: Hash Ribbons Explain What’s Happening

Bitcoin is struggling to hold above $90,000 amid ongoing market uncertainty. While traders focus on price levels, miner behavior is sending critical signals through the Hash Ribbons indicator. As mining costs rise, unprofitable miners often sell BTC or shut down equipment, leading to a declining hashrate. Recent downward adjustments in mining difficulty (around 2.6% and a projected 1.88%) are easing operational stress, marginally improving miner profitability even without significant price increases. This reduces the urgency for miners to sell BTC to cover costs. The Hash Ribbons currently indicate a buy signal, suggesting miner selling pressure has been absorbed. However, as difficulty normalizes and hashrate recovers, this supportive phase may be ending.

Bitcoin Mining Costs Could Ease if Venezuelan Oil Production Expands

The potential expansion of Venezuelan oil production, facilitated by U.S. firms gaining access to its large reserves, could lower global energy prices and reduce Bitcoin mining costs. Analysts note that cheaper electricity would directly benefit miners facing rising operational expenses. However, despite Venezuela’s significant oil reserves, its current production remains low due to underinvestment and sanctions. Restoring production to previous levels could require over $100 billion and take years to achieve. While lower energy costs may improve mining profitability, experts caution that factors like network difficulty, hardware efficiency, and regulations also play crucial roles. This development highlights how shifts in energy markets can influence cryptocurrency mining dynamics globally.

How Cryptocurrency Mining Has Changed in Russia. Results of 2025

The Russian cryptocurrency mining industry solidified its position as the world's second-largest in 2025, accounting for approximately 16% of the global Bitcoin hashrate and an estimated $2.2 billion in revenue. Despite challenges like rising energy costs, increased mining difficulty, and a significant year-end price drop from $126k to $88k per Bitcoin, industry activity remained high. The year marked the first full year of legalized mining in Russia, with the central bank acknowledging its positive impact on the national currency. Key trends included a market shift towards institutional models, with large-scale projects designed as universal data centers capable of handling both cryptocurrency mining and AI computations. A major hurdle remains the lack of a mechanism to legalize equipment imported in previous years, leaving an estimated 70% of mining hardware unregistered. The industry also saw a trend towards using on-site gas generation to bypass grid limitations and the emergence of the first pilot crypto-backed loans. Experts predict a market recovery in 2026, driven by renewed investor interest and further integration with AI and traditional finance.

Bitcoin Miners Brace For Another Difficulty Spike In January After 2025 Record

Bitcoin's mining difficulty has increased slightly to over 148 trillion as block times averaged 9.95 minutes, below the 10-minute target. The network is expected to raise difficulty again on January 8, 2026, to maintain steady block production. This follows a year of record-breaking difficulty levels, driven by earlier Bitcoin price surges and increased mining activity. Higher difficulty raises operational costs and can pressure miner profitability, but it also helps secure the network by preventing centralization. Despite recent price volatility, analysts project steady long-term growth for Bitcoin. Difficulty adjustments play a crucial role in maintaining network stability and a decentralized mining landscape.

Mining Prospects for 2026

Bitcoin mining is evolving into a mature, institutional-scale industry by the end of 2025, setting trends for 2026. Key developments include growing state legalization in countries like Russia and Kazakhstan, increased competition, and rising operational costs. Despite a significant drop in miner profitability per PH/s and a 35% rise in network difficulty, the average ROI for Bitcoin mining remains attractive at 2.5–3 years, driven by long-term Bitcoin value appreciation and institutional demand. Retail interest is also strong, with major pools like ViaBTC reporting hundreds of new users daily. To maintain profitability, miners must optimize efficiency and minimize costs. Industry transformation is inevitable, leading some major firms to pivot entirely, such as transitioning to AI infrastructure. Mining pools are evolving into comprehensive ecosystems, offering integrated services like exchanges (e.g., CoinEx), crypto-backed loans, and staking to provide additional revenue streams and liquidity. This trend of service aggregation and diversification is becoming critical for survival and growth in an increasingly competitive landscape.

XRP See Renewed Buying Activity From Large Investors – Here How Much They’ve Bought

XRP is experiencing renewed buying activity from large investors (whales) despite ongoing market volatility and resistance at the $2 price level. These whales, holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP, have increased their holdings by approximately 120 million XRP (worth around $150 million). Similarly, mid-tier investors are also accumulating. While this signals growing confidence, it is viewed as a cautious move rather than overtly bullish. Nearly 50% of XRP's supply is currently held at a loss, which could trigger panic but also historically precedes potential rallies, as seen in late 2024. XRP was trading at $1.86 at the time of reporting.

Miners' 'Capitulation' Called a Bullish Factor for Bitcoin. Why

RBC Crypto reports that Bitcoin's price drop and increased mining competition have led to record-low profitability for miners, causing a "tactical" decline in hash rate in recent months. According to an analysis by VanEck, historical data since 2014 shows that periods of declining hash rate have often been a bullish signal for Bitcoin's price in the medium term. In 77% of cases where the hash rate fell over a 90-day period, Bitcoin's price saw positive returns over the next 180 days, with an average increase of 72%. This suggests that "miner capitulation may indicate a bottom" for Bitcoin's price. The hash rate peaked at around 1.31 Zh/s on October 24 but dropped to 1.02 Zh/s by December 23, a nearly 25% decline. During this period, Bitcoin's price fell from $110,000 to $87,500, having peaked at $126,200 in early October. Despite low profitability, many mining companies continue operations due to their belief in Bitcoin's future. The report also highlights the role of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies, which have been accumulating Bitcoin as a reserve. Over a 30-day period until mid-December, these companies purchased approximately 42,000 BTC, the largest such acquisition since July-August 2025. However, DAT companies have faced challenges, with median stock prices for US and Canadian firms dropping 43% by December 8, and 70% of DAT stocks expected to be worth less by year-end. Additionally, 85% of tokens launched in 2025 have fallen below their initial offering price.
