  • It goes without saying that there’s a lot of economic turmoil and geopolitical uncertainty as international tension surrounding the relationship between Ukraine and Russia intensifies.
  • Meanwhile, market participants are eagerly anticipating hinted rate hikes as inflation numbers keep getting higher.
  • As CryptoPotato reported earlier this week, the Consumer Price Index in the United States clocked in at 7.5%, exceeding expectations.
  • Amid all this, Bitcoin’s network keeps getting more robust.
  • Data from BlockchainCom reveals that from February 11th to February 12th, the hashrate spiked by as much as 31%.
  • The estimated number of terahashes per second the BTC network performs in the last 24 hours currently sits at 248.11 million per second – a new all-time high value.
