🔻 $USDC Mining Pressure Mounts: Hashrate Dips, Margins Tighten

By Thursday afternoon, Bitcoin ($BTC) was holding just above $104,000.

But under the surface, miner stress is rising.

Just days earlier, Bitcoin’s hashrate hit an all-time high of 946 EH/s (7-day SMA).

Now, it's starting to pull back — a sign of growing operational pressure.

📉 Higher hashrates = tougher mining conditions

💸 Block rewards are flat → earnings are thinning

⛏️ Smaller miners may soon capitulate or consolidate

Why it matters: When hashrate drops while price holds, it signals a squeeze.

Miners might start selling reserves — potentially impacting market flows.

Watch this space.
