The Bitcoin halving is a quadrennial event where the reward for mining new blocks is halved. The most recent halving was in April 2024, reducing the reward from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block.
The monthly average network hashrate, a proxy for competition in the industry and mining difficulty, rose 4% to 899 exahashes per second (EH/s) in July, after a decline in June in response to warmer temperatures, the analysts wrote.
Mining difficulty was 9% higher at the end of last month, and 48% higher than before the last halving event, the report said.

Robinhood misses Q4 revenue estimates as fourth-quarter results dinged by crypto slump
Crypto revenue fell 38% year over year to $221M, even as the company expanded token listings and crypto features across its platform.
Lo que debes saber:
- Robinhood’s fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.66 topped estimates for $0.63, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell shy of forecasts for $1.33 billion.
- The crypto slump paid a large part in the miss, with crypto revenue falling 38% from a year earlier to $221 million.
- Robinhood’s results mirror broader crypto-market weakness, which is also expected to weigh on rival Coinbase (COIN), and HOOD shares fell about 7% in post-market trading after the earnings release.
