Bitcoin Miners Move Nearly 315% Of Their Revenue To Exchanges
Centralized exchanges (CEXs) have recently experienced a flurry of activities as crypto miners push most of their revenues to their platforms. According to reports, Bitcoin (BTC) miners have been sending large amounts of BTC to centralized platforms, suggesting they enjoyed huge revenues from their mining operations.
BTC Miners’ Revenue Reach An All-Time High
According to a recent report from the crypto analytic platform, Glassnode, revenues from Bitcoin mining operations are at a record high. The report noted that BTC miners are engaged in unprecedented exchange interaction, with a remarkable $128 million transferred to exchanges within the past seven days.
This figure amounts to nearly 315% of their daily revenue, as observed by the analytics platform. Throughout the 2021 bull run, there were multiple instances of miners capitalizing on their profits and pushing significant revenue into exchanges.
Additionally, towards the end of last year, there was a noticeable capitulation inflow from miners as markets reached their bottom cycle. Meanwhile, the latest development has surpassed the previous upsurge in mining revenue by a wide margin.
Typically, miners move their BTC gains to exchanges strategically to secure funds for covering expenses and reaping the rewards of their hard work. Given BTC’s recent performance after reaching its highest price point of the year at $31,185 on June 24, the past week presented a chance for miners to seize the opportunity and capitalize on their gains.
According to the CEO of CryptoQuant, Ki Young, the latest price-to-earnings ratio offers an attractive value for miners to sell and make huge returns.
No Change In BTC Price
Despite the record revenue from Bitcoin mining, the asset’s price has remained just a little above the $30,000 threshold. However, BTC continues to struggle to surpass the $31,000 price range.
Its previous attempts to surpass this threshold in mid-April and late June proved unsuccessful. As a result, if the bullish momentum fails to push BTC above this resistance level, it is more likely to drop to its next support level, especially as miners continue liquidating their BTC holdings.
Over the past week, there has been a slight uptick in Bitcoin mining profitability, better known as hash price. The surge in BTC prices primarily caused this uptick.
The hash price currently stands at $0.076 TH/s (terahashes per second) per day, as reported by HashrateIndex. Despite the remarkable year-to-date spike of over 88% in Bitcoin price, miners are struggling with several challenges.
These challenges have caused a significant reduction in their profit margins, plummeting by over 30% since July 2022. Moreover, compared to the peak of the 2021 bull market, miners are grappling with a steady decline of more than 80% in profitability.
In addition, they are contending with near-high hash rates reaching 377 EH/s. Combining these factors creates challenging situations for miners to keep operating at great profit levels.
Furthermore, the steady rise in hash rates and difficulty levels, coupled with the rise in energy prices, has exerted considerable downward pressure on mining profitability. Hence, this development shows miners’ struggles in making decisions that will enhance their profit margins amidst evolving market conditions.
BTC trades at $30,082 at the time of writing, down by 1.6% in the last 24 hours, according to Coingecko data.
