Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the most popular Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens and the second largest dog-inspired meme coin by market capitalization after Dogecoin, has come off the boil on Monday. SHIB/USD was last changing hands just over 3.5% lower on Monday in the mid-$0.000011s, now down about 10% from earlier monthly peaks near the $0.000013 level. Broad downside in crypto markets and across risk assets in the traditional finance space amid caution ahead of a massive week of macro risk events (including Fed, ECB and BoE meetings plus US jobs, ISM and Consumer Confidence data) is the main factor weighing on SHIB on Monday. But the crypto token is still on course to have gained a massive more than 43% this month, which would be its best month since October 2021, when it rocketed a stunning 830% higher.

Bitcoin Mining Network Hits New Record Hash Rate According to Bitcoin mining data tracking website MiningPoolStats, Bitcoin’s hash rate hit a new record high earlier this week. According to the website, the network reached the milestone of computing three hundred quintillion (300,000,000,000,000,000,000) hashes per second (300 EH/s). Bitcoin’s hash rate is viewed as a proxy of the processing power allocated to securing the Bitcoin network by its army of miners. A rising hash rate is viewed as a sign of network adoption, as well as that the network is growing more secure. The achievement was separately confirmed by Bitcoin mining company Braiins. They defined the real-time network hash rate as “the estimated total network hash rate based on API-reported hash rate values for all mining pools and estimated hash rate values based on blocks found for miners and pools who are not reporting their real-time hash rate”. One Twitter user responded with a warning that it might

Source: Tupungato/Adobe Police in Barcelona, Spain, have arrested five men after a gang tried to storm a crypto company “armed with taser guns and zip ties.” Per El Caso, officers belonging to the Mossos d’Esquadra – the Catalonian police force – swooped after the alleged would-be thieves were intercepted by the company’s owner.  The owner stepped in as the gang was attempting to bind and gag the concierge of the building where the company’s offices are located. Police said the incident took place in the afternoon of January 14. They explained that one of the gang had posed as a client with an appointment at the company to “gain access to the offices.” But when they were met with resistance, a struggle broke out as they tried to gain entry. Company workers then notified the company’s owner. The owner then called the police and attempted to apprehend the gang.  The thieves then, the police continued, “fled down the service stairs that led to the roof, from where they

Short-term and long-term investors alike are back in the black with Bitcoin undecided on where to go next. Bitcoin (BTC) traded sideways at the Jan. 24 Wall Street open with analysts at a loss over where price would go next. BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView BTC price holds below key resistance Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView tracked a day of consolidation for BTC/USD, which continued to linger near $23,000. The pair saw little reaction to the start of trading, including technical problems at the New York Stock Exchange, while United States macroeconomic data also failed to change the status quo. Bitcoin thus lacked direction after establishing a narrower trading range on Jan. 20. “ Bitcoin couldn't break through a crucial resistance at $23.1K,” Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe summarized. “If we continue to make LHs, we'll probably test and sweep around $22.3K before continuation.

Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage According to the most recent data, mining bitcoin has never been more difficult. After registering a remarkable spike of over 10% on January 15, the network’s mining difficulty reached a new all-time high of 37.59 trillion hashes, the largest jump since last November—the only time in 2022 when mining difficulty grew by a double-digit percentage. In addition to having a high mining difficulty, data from CoinWarz reveals that despite briefly falling after Terra’s collapse in May 2021, Bitcoin’s hash rate, which is best described as the network’s processing capacity, has been gradually increasing over the last three years. Bitcoin’s hash rate peaked on January 6, 2023, at 361.20 EH/s (ExaHashes per second). When combined, hash rate and mining difficulty show a robust and expanding network. Nevertheless, there have been a lot of recent indications that the mining industry is facing significant challenges.
