The hash rate of Bitcoin and Ethereum is slowly recovering following the redeployment of Chinese miners after the crypto crackdown in China. The seven-day moving average of the hash rate of Bitcoin has slowly climbed up to 100 EH/s level over the past three weeks, based on the data shared by a crypto information platform. Bitcoin and Ethereum Hash Rate Surges as Chinese Miners Relocate Overseas Following the crypto crackdown in China on the Bitcoin mining industry, power stations across multiple territories have been ordered by the officials to suspend energy supply to mining facilities. As a result of that, the hash rate of Bitcoin slipped even below 90 EH/s, but now, with the slow recovery, the mining difficulty is expected to show a 4% rise in its next adjustment, after having recorded four consecutive slips since the month of May. Initially, the crypto crackdown of China was about the mining business, but it eventually affected the farms that possessed graphic cards and ASIC miners securing the Ethereum network. Miners start shifting to different countries such as Kazakhstan. Similarly, the hash rate of Ethereum also took a hit by more than 20%, but gradually recovered to 500 Tera hashes per second.
