Bitcoin's hash rate slipped to 169 EH/s after touching an all-time high of 249 EH/s). Following the drop in processing power, Bitcoin miners caught a break when the difficulty decreased for the first time in months. However, the network's hash rate has increased more than 15%, with the processing power coasting above the 200 exahash per second (EH/s) zone. Still, another mining difficulty adjustment is expected to happen in less than four days, with a rise of 1.03%.
