The increase in cryptocurrency mining is attributed to rising adoption of cryptocurrency and total market capital in these digital assets to gain long term profits. Increasing complications in finding new blocks of most popular cryptocurrencies that includes the Bitcoin has led to increased requirement for advanced hashing power, increase in power consumption, and requirement of specific weather conditions to maintain its operability over long durations. These factors in turn have led to significant investments in mining to gain high ROI (within 20 months) and additional income over the life cycle of the systems. According to Coherent Market Insights analysis, in 2016, China and the U.S. accounted for over 70% of the global Cryptocurrency Mining Market, based on the total number of pools across the world.
