Bitcoin prices remain bearish but, the hash rates pump to all-time high

Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, has been struggling to break above the $45,000 price level this month. At the time of writing, the price of 1 BTC has dropped to $40K and it seems that the bears are in control. On the other hand, the data aggregated by Cryptonary shows that the BTC network has surged to a new all-time high in terms of difficulty and hash rates.

Bitcoin ATH hash rate

Bitcoin reached historically low has rates in the month of July after China's crackdown on cryptocurrency mining. However, with the popularity of cryptocurrencies blowing through the roof, the mining difficulty of the BTC network has reached another all-time high and continues to steadily increase. 

CoinWarz, an on-chain analysis tool, confirmed on Feb 18 that the Bitcoin difficulty chart has reached a new all-time high of 27.97 trillion hashes (T). Moreover, it is important to note that this is the second time in around 3 weeks that the world's biggest cryptocurrency has reached a new ATH in terms of difficulty. Furthermore, the token reached a difficulty of 26.7 T while the hash rate was at 190.71 EH/s (exahashes per second) on Jan 23.

Competition among miners

It is also important to note that the increased difficulty in mining can be related to increased competition among miners in order to extract higher block rewards. Furthermore, the total hash rate for the Bitcoin network has also made a new all-time high as seen in the data from Blockchain.com. 

Despite the bearish trend that the market is in right now, there has been a steady increment in the popularity of the world's biggest cryptocurrency. Recently, KPMG LLP, a full-service Audit, Tax, and Advisory firm owned and operated by Canadians, added Bitcoin and Ethereum to its treasury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
