Bitcoin’s Hashrate Hits the Stratosphere: Miners Flex 1.164 Zettahash of Pure Power
Bitcoin’s hashrate just cranked things up another notch, blasting to 1,164 exahash per second (EH/s) on Sunday at 2:40 p.m. Eastern time.
Bitcoin’s Hashrate Rockets While Revenue Improves
Fresh off its 1,157 EH/s high just two days back, Bitcoin’s hashrate has casually leveled up—adding another 7 EH/s to hit 1,164 EH/s, or for those who love big numbers, a cool 1.164 zettahash per second (ZH/s).
According to current hashrate stats, as of 11:45 a.m. on Oct. 20, Bitcoin’s hashrate is cruising at 1,154.16 EH/s. Leading the charge is Foundry USA, mempool.space metrics show, flexing 334.18 EH/s—roughly 28.96% of the entire network’s muscle.
Antpool’s holding steady with about 199.24 EH/s, making up 17.26% of Bitcoin’s total hashrate. Together with Foundry, this powerhouse duo controls a hefty 46.22% of the network.
Coming in third is ViaBTC with 135.99 EH/s, roughly 11.78% of the total, while F2pool and Spiderpool round out the top five at 122.29 EH/s and 92.77 EH/s, respectively. With BTC’s price on the upswing, hashprice—the estimated value of one petahash per second (PH/s)—has inched higher too.
In just 24 hours, the hashprice climbed 3.14%, rising from $46.51 to $47.97 per PH/s. Even so, the hashprice remains 6.89% below its Sept. 20, 2025 level. Over the past day, miners have been raking in an average of 3.14 BTC per block—though just 0.60% of that comes from onchain fees.
Bitcoin’s mining game is firing on all cylinders, with hashrate milestones stacking up and hashprice ticking higher in step with BTC’s price climb. Foundry and Antpool continue to dominate the charts, while 84 distinct smaller pools keep the competition lively.
Despite hashprice trailing its Sept. 20 level, miners remain locked in and laser-focused, proving once again that Bitcoin’s network isn’t just strong—it’s relentlessly pushing the limits of digital grit and computational endurance.

VIPTradFi Focus: Where Does the RWA Market Stand Today?
1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
