Bitcoin may be cooling off in price, but its network activity is heating up. Bitcoin news across the market centers on its hash rate, signaling resilience even as price momentum slows.
Over the last seven days, the BTC price has dropped by 2% and currently sits above the crucial $110,000 support level. Despite the weakness, its hash rate is powering near all-time highs, showcasing strength and high security.
Its total hash rate is currently at 944,880,689 TH/s while the network difficulty stands at a record high of 129.70 trillion. Both metrics have shown a significant increase over the last 90 days.

Generally, a strong hash rate signals a stronger and more secure network, which in turn boosts investor confidence and supports the price. While in the short term, price depends more upon demand and supply, a steadily growing hashrate is seen as a bullish indicator.
As the Bitcoin network becomes more secure and reliable, the need for institutional infrastructure is increasing. One standout project, Bitcoin Hyper, is addressing this issue and gaining massive momentum and its ongoing presale.
HIVE Blockchain Hashrate Surges to Record 16 EH/s
In recent Bitcoin news, HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd., a BTC mining company, announced that it has surpassed 16 Exahash per second (EH/s) of global Bitcoin mining hashrate.
The company holds roughly 610 BTC, valued at over $67.67 million, and uses its data centres to mine crypto. In the last few months, the company has doubled its daily BTC output, which now tops 8 BTC.
HIVE is expanding its operations in Paraguay and targets 25 EH/s by the year-end. The company plans to boost daily Bitcoin production to 12 BTC and raise its global fleet efficiency to about 17.5 J/TH.
BTC Price Rebounds From $110k Support: Is This The Bottom?
Bitcoin’s strong bounce from $110k level is building momentum across the entire cryptocurrency market. The overall crypto market cap has recovered to $3.95 trillion after dropping to a monthly low of $3.85 trillion.
BTC reached a new all-time high of $124,533 on August 14th after a 66% rally from its April lows. However, since the recent ATH, it has corrected by over 12%. If it can sustain the current support level, this could mark a pivotal point for short-term price action.

In a recent price analysis, Nik Bhatia, founder of Bitcoinlayer, stated that the cryptocurrency will remain in a bull market until it loses support of the ascending trendline. Bhatia explained that this is just a bull market correction, and bulls will drive the price higher when they see a dip opportunity.
Technical analysis shows that the $112,000 and $115,000 are major barriers that could hinder price growth in the short term. However, a breakout from these levels could drive the price to a new all-time high.
Bitcoin Hyper: The Next Leg of Bitcoin Trade
Bitcoin Hyper is developing infrastructure on Bitcoin’s base, designed specifically to expand its ecosystem in different sectors for token creators and traders who’ve had nowhere to build on BTC until now.
The project is gunning to be the backbone of memes, NFTs, and dApps on BTC, finally giving the network a culture layer. The layer-2 protocol makes the Bitcoin Hypers framework for native asset creation, lowers the barrier for launching tokens on Bitcoin, and creates the conditions for the kind of ecosystem growth that Ethereum saw after ERC-20 went live.
People lock their BTC in the Bitcoin Hyper bridge, which then mints wrapped BTC (WBTC) on Layer 2. They can use this WBTC for different purposes. The system runs on Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM), combining Bitcoin’s strong security with Solana’s fast, low-cost execution.

With strong investors’ support, Bitcoin Hyper’s presale has already raised more than $12.3 million. At this point, there are two narratives creating high demand that could lead to explosive growth:
First layer-2 Bitcoin infrastructure with the ability to disrupt Bitcoin utility.
Available at a low price and with a small market cap, this means higher growth potential.
The crypto whales are aggressively accumulating HYPER tokens at a bargain price of just $0.012805, driving in the retail FOMO in the presale. Experts believe this may be a last chance to make a move before the crowds swarm in.
