📊 In terms of mining pools:
*Foundry USA** controls 32.8%.

*ViaBTC** has an 11% share.
🔻 Thus, these three pools together control approximately 60% of the network.
💰 In terms of returns, the retail price increased from $55.3 to $56.5 for each PH/s daily over 24 hours, with improved mining profitability thanks to Bitcoin's recovery above $115,000.
