New data from glassnode and Etherscan show Ethereum’s hashrate has risen to a 20-month high and this has led some optimistic traders to suggest Ether price will continue to rise to new highs in 2020.
The explosive increase in Ethereum’s hashrate appears to be heavily influenced by the rapidly growing Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector and at the time of writing is hovers around 201,000,000 GH/s, a level not seen since 2018.
