Bitcoin Difficulty Climbs 3.87% as Hashrate Slips and Next Cut Looms

After the previous difficulty epoch delivered a 7.76% reduction, Bitcoin’s difficulty moved higher by 3.87% at block height 943488. This latest adjustment represents the third increase recorded so far this year.

Key Takeaways:

Bitcoin difficulty rose 3.87% at block 943488 as hashrate fell 60.45 EH/s; a 15.73% cut is projected.

Miners face $30.67 PH/s hashprice and 0.56% fees, pushing firms toward AI over $BTC mining.

Bitcoin network nears April 19, 2026, adjustment as slower 11:51 blocks signal easing difficulty ahead.

Bitcoin Mining Tightens

The Bitcoin network has logged a total of seven adjustments this year, comprising three increases and four decreases. The most recent reduction, two weeks ago, was sizable, arriving after consecutive gains of 14.73% and 0.45% across the prior two epochs.

Following the latest adjustment, the difficulty rating is now 3.87% higher, making blocks that much harder to discover, and it further stands at 138.97 trillion times more difficult than Bitcoin’s launch.

As of 4 p.m. Eastern time, 181 of the 2,016 blocks in the current epoch have been mined, placing the network roughly 9% of the way toward the next adjustment expected on April 19, 2026. While it remains early and conditions can shift considerably between now and then, current estimates point to a projected 14.27% reduction.

This outlook stems from a noticeable slowdown in block intervals over the past day, with data from hashrateindex.com indicating an average block time of 11 minutes 39 seconds, well above the expected 10-minute cadence.

What’s behind the shift? A decline in hashrate. Bitcoin.com News reported on March 28 that the Bitcoin network’s total computational power had exceeded 1,000 exahash per second (EH/s), or 1 zettahash per second (ZH/s). On that day, hashpower reached 1,022 EH/s, w

Bitcoin’s market has been slipping into a quiet imbalance, one where price strength no longer reflects underlying network activity. Understandably, this raises some questions about what is really driving value.

At the time of writing, the RVTS (Realized Value Transaction Volume) Ratio had climbed towards 85 – Its highest level ever. When this ratio rises, it means that adjusted on-chain volume is shrinking, meaning fewer coins may be moving relative to valuation.

In effect, it implied that the price might be holding firm, even as network usage fades.

This may be happening because market structure has shifted. Liquidity and derivatives now dominate price discovery, while spot-driven activity has weakened. As a result, capital circulates off-chain, reducing the need for on-chain settlement.

Historically, similar spikes above 60 in 2022 appeared during low-participation phases, often near cycle bottoms. However, the press time move seemed to exceed those levels – Evidence of deeper structural apathy.

Still, such a compression often precedes accumulation. As weaker hands exit and activity rebuilds, the imbalance can be expected to resolve itself. Until then, Bitcoin [BTC] is likely to reflect a market sustained by positioning, not participation.

Bitcoin holds firm despite weakening network activity

Bitcoin, at press time, was trading in a quiet zone where price stability was contrary to muted participation, creating uncertainty around what this phase represents. It was valued at close to $66,940, well above $65,800 – A sign that the support level remains intact.

At the same time, while the narrow $66,569–$67,200 range hinted at consolidation, it also alluded to limited conviction. This happens when activity stays compressed, even though the Spot Taker CVD has continued to rise and point to underlying buy pressure.

The NFT market continues to boost Solana’s network activity. Many creators are choosing Solana due to its low fees and fast transactions.

This makes it easier to mint and trade NFTs, attracting more users to the platform. Increased activity leads to higher demand for SOL tokens.

Circle is getting into the wrapped Bitcoin space, with its product cirBTC primarily targeting institutions. According to the firm, cirBTC will be 1:1 backed by BTC, adding that the token will be “readily verifiable” on-chain.

The move is designed to tap into Bitcoin’s $1.7 trillion liquidity. The token will be seamlessly integrated into Circle’s wide network, including its Arc chain and wider DeFi ecosystem.

For the unfamiliar, wrapped Bitcoin tokens allow users to leverage lending, borrowing, and other DeFi activity across Ethereum and other chains.

Will Circle’s wrapped Bitcoin benefit from trust?

It’s worth noting, however, that the wrapped Bitcoin segment has been plagued by trust issues. In August 2024, the top contender in space, BitGo’s WBTC, faced community backlash. This was after it partnered with Justin Sun’s BiT Global.

The deal with BiT Global allowed Justin Sun access to the BTC in cold storage, used as collateral to back WBTC. This unsettled some investors and triggered some outflows at that time.

Sensing the distrust and vacuum created, Coinbase seized the opportunity. It quickly unveiled cbBTC, its rival product. It was an instant success. In just two months, it crossed $1B in market cap. In the last two years, the cbBTC market supply has grown to $6B, underscoring a strong demand.

However, it wasn’t long before Coinbase also faced community scrutiny over a lack of verifiable reserves backing cbBTC. Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong’s response further alienated the community. He said,

As for cbBTC, yes, you’re trusting a centralized custodian to store the underlying BTC – we’ve never claimed otherwise.

The exchange eventually curved and posted proof of reserves for its product. However, the distrust lingered.

And, it seems Circle is betting on this. For Circle’s CEO,Jeremy Allaire, cirBTC will be a ‘neutral’ on-chain asset.

$315B Stablecoin Supply Hits Record as USDC Gains

Stablecoins captured 75% of total crypto trading volume in Q1, the highest share on record, surpassing the previous peak set in 2022.
Total stablecoin supply rose by roughly $8 billion to a record $315 billion in the first quarter of 2026, according to CEX.IO data. The increase was the slowest pace of growth since Q4 2023, but it came during a quarter when the broader crypto market contracted.

Stablecoins captured 75% of total crypto trading volume in Q1, the highest share on record, surpassing the previous peak set in 2022. Total stablecoin transaction volume for the quarter exceeded $28 trillion, extending a multi-year trend that has seen stablecoin volumes outpace major payment networks, including Visa and Mastercard combined.

Retail-sized transfers, typically associated with individual users, fell 16% in Q1, the steepest quarterly drop on record. Bots accounted for approximately 76% of all stablecoin transaction volume during the period, a shift that CEX.IO's data attributes to algorithmic trading, arbitrage, and liquidity provisioning rather than organic retail demand.

A notable divergence emerged between the two largest stablecoin issuers. Circle's USDC supply grew by approximately $2 billion in Q1, while Tether's USDT declined by about $3 billion, marking the first meaningful split between the two since Q2 2022’s bear market.

USDC's gain aligns with a surge in transfer activity reported in February, where the token posted an all-time high in transfer volume, driven by increased use in trading and on-chain transactions. The trend suggests a shift in how institutions and active traders are choosing between the two dominant dollar-pegged assets.

Despite bullish momentum, TRON is also showing signs of being overbought in the short term. RSI levels are above 70, which usually indicates that a correction could happen soon. Analysts suggest that TRX may experience a short pullback before continuing its upward trend. Resistance around $0.33 remains strong, and price may need consolidation before breaking higher.
