Bitcoin Miner Economics Out of the Danger Zone

Dow Jones00:34

1234 ET - Miners of bitcoin were operating in negative territory earlier this year, but with bitcoin's surge in September they've become profitable again, says analysts with CryptoQuant in a note. The firm says that miners turned positive in late August, which happened when bitcoin crossed $76,000. Since turning positive, miners are no longer dumping bitcoin to stay afloat, but are able to accrue supplies once again. "Miners flipped from 'extremely underpaid' to 'fairly paid,' and no extreme outflows have followed," says the firm. But a rebuilding in the balances of miners has yet to begin in earnest, says CryptoQuant. Bitcoin falls 2.6% to $81,272.
