This has prompted many to believe that the crypto winter that has put the entire market at a halt has finally \u201ccome to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to cryptocurrencies, one of the best indicators of a recovering market is a growing hash rate.

Back in 2018, Bitcoin's hash rate dropped from 60 million terahashes per second to just 30 million. At the same time, following the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/explained-bitcoin-cash-hash-wars-where-the-factions-stand-on-the-issues\/\">hard fork war<\/a> around <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin-cash\/\">Bitcoin Cash<\/a>, the coin's price dropped to around $3,200 from its $6,400 strong position.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99922\" style=\"width: 1426px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99922\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bitcoin-hash-rate-blockchain.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1426\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bitcoin-hash-rate-blockchain.png 1426w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bitcoin-hash-rate-blockchain-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bitcoin-hash-rate-blockchain-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bitcoin-hash-rate-blockchain-1024x383.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1426px) 100vw, 1426px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-99922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockchain.com\/en\/charts\/hash-rate?timespan=1year\">Blockchain.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Therefore, Bitcoin's ability to regain some of its lost hash rate has prompted many to believe better times are coming. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockchain.com\/charts\/hash-rate\">According to<\/a> data from Blockchain.com, Bitcoin's hash rate has climbed up and now stands at around 50 million terahashes.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum's Switch to PoS Mining Causes Hash rate to Drop Almost 50 Percent<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a> has had a far worse month than Bitcoin.
