Bitcoin's mining difficulty increased by 1.31% at block height 965664, marking the eighth rise in 2026, reaching 127.45 trillion. Despite this, the network's hashrate remained steady at 934 EH/s, below the 1 ZH/s threshold. Meanwhile, the hashprice surged 22.24% from $32.42 to $39.63 per PH/s per day, driven by a higher bitcoin price.

The steady hashrate suggests miners are cautious, possibly due to hardware limits, with future shifts likely if bitcoin's price changes sharply.
