Bitcoin’s difficulty has risen again. With a 15% increase, it seems to be the biggest adjustment since 2021. Even though the price is falling, the difficulty is going up—doesn’t that mean miners are moving pretty bullishly?

In times like this, it probably means mining power exceeding Exahash is being put into the market. The fact that difficulty is increasing also means the network’s security is being strengthened, and that miners’ participation is continuing too.

I think it’s a solid long-term indicator that difficulty keeps rising even during periods when prices are undergoing corrections. Regardless of short-term price fluctuations, it means the network’s foundation is being reinforced. It feels like a move that shows how serious the mining industry is.
