On April 17, following the latest adjustment, the mining difficulty of the leading cryptocurrency fell by 2.43%, reaching 135.59 T. Source: CloverPool.  The average hash rate at the time of writing was 988.7 EH/s. The block interval shortened to less than 10 minutes. According to Glassnode, the network's computational power, smoothed by a 7-day moving average, has recovered from ~978 EH/s to ~992 EH/s since the beginning of the month. Since March, the value has consistently remained below the significant level of 1 ZH/s. Data: Glassnode. Data from Hashrate Index indicates that amid the reduction in Bitcoin's difficulty and the recovery of the asset's price to $78,000, the hash price increased from approximately $35 per PH/s per day to more than $36. The cryptocurrency's price drop adjusted the profitability metric to values between these two marks. Data: Hashrate Index. Concern at 'Six to Seven Levels' Low network activity and Bitcoin's stagnant price prevent miners from reaching the break-even point, writes DL News. According to The Block, the share of fees in miners' revenue fell below 1% last year and has approached 0.5% in recent months. Source: The Block. Meanwhile, total revenue dropped from $1.62 billion in October 2025 to $948 million in March. "In short, the situation is not very good. There are currently no positive factors encouraging further investment in new mining enterprises," said Luxor CEO Nick Hansen to the publication. He also identified miners' diversification into the AI sector as a significant threat to the industry. According to the executive, the level of concern for the industry has already reached "six to seven levels." Earlier this year, public mining companies sold 32,000 BTC in the first quarter, exceeding the total for all of 2025.

This week, "Deconstruction" focuses on new criminal risks for cryptocurrency holders in Russia, the impact of the war in Iran on Asian chip production, the impending collapse of the World Liberty Financial project, and the dominance of insiders in Polymarket and Kalshi prediction markets. Criminal Penalties for Russian Crypto Market Participants Russia will introduce criminal liability for the illegal circulation of cryptocurrency without a Central Bank license. However, one of the main issues is the extremely low threshold for damage assessment. A significant damage is considered to be an amount from 3.5 million rubles, which is easily exceeded by an exchange when purchasing 50,000 USDT with minimal profit. Ordinary asset holders should also be wary. The Central Bank insists on banning non-custodial wallets, imposing fines for their non-declaration, and confiscating cryptocurrencies when used as a means of payment. Experts believe that criminal liability does not guarantee the market's transition to a legal framework; the industry will likely split into a licensed sector with strict limits and an unregulated one, which will remain for businesses to pay for import contracts. Iran's Blow to Asian Big Tech The Middle East war has unexpectedly hit chip production for artificial intelligence in Asia due to disruptions in helium supplies. Helium is a byproduct of processing Qatari natural gas, with no viable alternative for cooling wafers during chip etching in South Korea and Taiwan. The current conflict and rising energy prices also threaten to relocate data center capacities from Europe and Asia to the United States. Despite the threat of missile strikes, major corporations Google and Amazon are not leaving the region but are increasing investments in Saudi Arabia, viewing the Middle East not as a zone of fear but as a center of the future digital economy. The Death Spiral of World Liberty Financial Token holders of the World Liberty Financial project are preparing a class action lawsuit due to the extension of fund freezes for up to four years and the manual blocking of undesirable participants, which destroys the myth of decentralization. The project issues loans secured by its own unsecured token, forming a model of a classic financial bubble, and the technical power of smart contracts allows developers to block assets instantly until court intervention. Analysts suggest three scenarios for future developments. In the case of a high-profile trial, lawyers will achieve the disclosure of internal documents, making the platform toxic and destroying its reputation. The second option is a "financial death spiral," where further token price declines will trigger mass collateral liquidations, leaving investors without real security. The third outcome involves political absorption by Arab capital: the Trump family retreats to avoid accusations, and the public crypto project turns into a closed offshore channel for grey transactions. The Illusion of Prediction Markets Platforms Polymarket and Kalshi exploit economic anxiety under the guise of financial democratization, while only 0.04% of traders take 70% of the profits. Statistics and investigations confirm thriving insider trading, which exists regardless of administrations: traders earned hundreds of thousands of dollars with a 100% win rate on Joe Biden's last-minute pardons, as well as making billions on oil deals before Donald Trump's statements on Iran. The average user trades against people with unique information on platforms that have effectively turned into unlicensed gambling, exempt from local taxes and player protection requirements.
