Bitcoin hashrate has reached a new high! What does it mean?

Bitcoin mining difficulty is expected to jump to 24.98 trillion by the end of this week. This is just one step away from the 25 trillion level recorded in May before the Chinese ban. Mining difficulty is automatically adjusted every two weeks based on Bitcoin’s hashrate. The more saturated the network becomes, the more cryptocurrencies are produced, so a positive adjustment is needed to avoid overproduction (and vice versa).
