Ethereum miners today earned $3.5 million in a single hour, a new record, according to data from metrics analytics site Glassnode.
Data from Glassnode, published today, showed that ETH miner revenue skyrocketed today, just like Ethereum’s price, which hit a peak of $1,756, its highest price ever.
#Ethereum miners earned $3.5M (!) in a single hour – the highest hourly revenue to date.

That record helped Ethereum miners eke out their most lucrative hour yet.
Ethereum miners, really just very powerful computers, make money by running software that solves complicated math puzzles to verify transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.
The Ethereum blockchain rewards miners for doing so in newly-minted Ethereum. Note: this does not equate to $3.5 million in profit per hour, as electricity fees for running and cooling the miners, as well as the costs of the miners themselves, must be subtracted from the revenue.
Still, it’s great news for miners and proof that blockchain mining is one way to make a hell of a lot of money. Yesterday, the last day for which Glassnode shows data, the world’s Ethereum miners generated $53 million in revenue.
That’s about $10 million more than Bitcoin miners earned yesterday, according to Glassnode data.
But not all days are as lucrative. On February 1, Bitcoin miners made just $29 million in revenue. And on January 13, Ethereum miners made about $20 million in revenue.
Since Ethereum is decentralized, users must pay the high fees. They ain’t cheap, and often rise when there’s a lot of activity on the blockchain. Yesterday, Ethereum users had to pay an average of $23 per transaction, according to data from BitInfoCharts. It’s the same for Bitcoin: Yesterday, users had to pay an average of $17 per transaction, some of the highest figures on record.
Franklin Templeton Digital Assets said on Tuesday that it’s rolling out a new feature for its Benji platform that aims to improve upon existing standards for calculating and distributing yield via blockchain. The patent-pending feature, dubbed “intraday yield,” will track investors’ holdings of tokenized securities down to the second, allowing them to earn yield on assets that are held for only part of a given day, the 78-year-old bank said in a statement on Tuesday. This yield is calculated and...
KULR Technology Group is aiming to raise $300 million to bolster its Bitcoin treasury, the firm revealed Monday in a filing with U.S. federal regulators—the latest sign a growing number of public and private companies are embracing the world’s oldest cryptocurrency. California-based KULR, which has pivoted to become a self-described "Bitcoin-First" company, plans to raise $300 million by selling its common stock shares in an at-the-market offering, with assistance from Cantor Fitzgerald. It will...
The Blockchain Group is raising €300 ($342 million) to add Bitcoin to its BTC holding, according to its statement on Monday—a move that aligns the Paris-based Bitcoin Treasury with a growing number of public companies emulating software firm Strategy’s Bitcoin-based playbook. The company intends to raise the funds through an “at-the-market”-type offering, in partnership with French asset manager TOBAM. Under the offering, TOBAM will acquire shares directly from The Blockchain Group on a daily b...
