BTC: The Highest Difficulty Jum in 2022
According to the on-chain data of BTC.com, both difficulty and hash rate are climbing. This in turn shows the belief among the BTC miners that their participation will bring them long-term profitability. In addition, this data also points to the fact that in the short-term scenario, the mining sector is accepting lower profits versus costs.
The difficulty, at present, stands at the highest ever mark, adding 9.26% at its Aug. 31 automated readjustment. In fact, this also suggests that the competition among the miners is really a healthy one. Back in January, the difficulty soared high enough to reach 9.32%.

Along with this, BTC.com also points out that the hash rate stands at an average of 221 EH/s. In fact, this is just a bit short of the highest ever recorded hash rate of 223 EH/s. This is yet another good news for the BTC world.

Glassnode, an on-chain analytics firm opined that this rise in the fundamentals will be helpful in adding a positive note to the sour atmosphere of BTC.
