The Bitcoin hash rate could reach 1 zettahash as early as July 2025
CoinShares analysts predict a rapid increase in the Bitcoin network's power: according to their estimates, the total hash rate could rise to 1 ZH/s (zettahash per second) in just a year!

Why this is important, according to analysts:
▪️ An increase in hash rate means enhanced network security.
▪️ Increased investments in mining indicate long-term confidence among market players in Bitcoin's future.
▪️ New equipment is becoming increasingly energy-efficient, making mining more profitable even after halving. $BTC
