Bitcoin's hash rate has reached 1 zettahash per second for the first time, surpassing the previous record of 975 exahashes.
This historic event occurred against the backdrop of a 10% drop in the price of Bitcoin, partly due to President Trump's tariffs.
The network difficulty increased by 7%, reaching 121.5 trillion, which is a record.
Miners' yield per exahash fell to $42.40, amid low fees and high difficulty.
