The Cambridge University'due south Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) has launched a Bitcoin Mining Map that provides the average monthly hash rate produced by each country across the globe.

The map is informed past the data of mining pools ViaBTC, Poolin, and BTC.com. Cambridge claims the platform is the first to publicly offer a geographic breakdown of Bitcoin (BTC) hash power distribution.

Cathay represents 65% of hash power

Unsurprisingly, the map shows the vast majority of hash power is located within China — with 65.08% of the global total.

That's almost nine times more than than the U.S in second identify with seven.24%, followed by Russian federation with 6.ninety%, Kazakhstan with six.17%, Malaysia with 4.33%, and Islamic republic of iran with iii.82%.

The balance of the earth combined represents six.5% of hashing ability, with each remaining state comprising less than 1% respectively.

The CCAF too stores historic data, allowing users to meet how hash power distribution has inverse over time. Users can also select multiple months to view the average hash power over a longer flow.

Ane-third of global hash rate is in Xinjiang

The website hosts two maps looking at both global and Chinese hashrate distribution respectively.

More half of China's hash power is located in the Xinjiang region, which represents 35.76% of the global total.

Sichuan province has the second-highest concentration of mining power within China with ix.66%, followed by Inner Mongolia with 8.07%, Yunnan with 5.42%, and Beijing with 1.73%.

With the Bitcoin halving set to take place in less than one week, global hash power has pushed into new all-time highs over recent days.
