Bitcoin hashrate falls after Iran conflict, HOOD down 16%: Month in charts
Yields for five-year US Treasury bonds are up 4%, putting a damper on Bitcoin price, which has ended the month much where it started.
This month, Bitcoin’s hashrate fell 6% after the US and Israel attacked Iran, highlighting Iran’s significant crypto mining activity.
Bitcoin price, meanwhile, remains lackluster. Higher 4% yields on US Treasury bonds have added pressure, and investors are seeking less risky prospects amid geopolitical tension.
Less appetite for crypto trading has proven problematic for Robinhood. The trading platform’s stock is down 16% on the month, and leadership has announced a stock buyback program.
