Unprofitable bitcoin miners are starting to exit the network after the halving , as expected.
But much of their performance relies on bitcoin's price, which still faces several near-term headwinds, according to JPMorgan.
However, "we do not see upside for bitcoin prices in the current juncture and if anything we see headwinds over the near term," he added.
That was expected to happen after the halving in April, which slashed a key revenue source for bitcoin miners.
"The more bitcoin prices decline the higher the number of unprofitable miners that come under pressure to leave the bitcoin network and the larger the result[ing] decline in the hash rate and bitcoin production cost."
