According to our friends at newhedge.io: Bitcoin difficulty is 86.3 Trillion and set to decrease roughly 1.8%% at the conclusion of epoch 416 which should be on Wednesday the 24th

Over at Hashrate Index: https://data.hashrateindex.com/asic-index-data: Miners under 25J/Th are selling for roughly $12.21/Th at the moment, which has been relatively flat since October

Looking at mempool.space: Hashrate is currently estimated to be 629Eh, setting a new ATH going into the halving

Heading over to insights.braiins.com: Hashvalue is currently 160k sats/PH/day and Hashprice is $102/Ph/Day

Days until the Halving: 1 day according to https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/halving
