September 10, 2025. Amid growing centralization in the mining industry and increasing demand for passive crypto income, KuCoin has officially launched KuMining, a next-generation cloud mining platform designed to make mining accessible to everyday users. The service will go live for contract purchases on September 16.
Developed in collaboration with global mining manufacturers and energy infrastructure partners, KuMining enables users to rent real, audited hashrate for Bitcoin and Dogecoin mining through short-term contracts, starting from just tens of dollars. The initiative is positioned as a response to industry trends where mining resources are increasingly dominated by large-scale entities, leaving little room for retail participation.
A Structured Approach to Passive Crypto Income
Cloud mining has gained traction in recent years, particularly following Bitcoin's 2024 halving event and subsequent price stabilization around $113,000. Unlike traditional mining, which requires physical hardware, energy contracts, and technical expertise, cloud mining allows users to lease computational power from remote facilities. This approach delivers daily coin yields with lower operational friction and predictable costs.
KuMining contracts range from 7 to 90 days and support Bitcoin (SHA-256) as well as Dogecoin through merged mining with Litecoin (Scrypt). Users pay a hashrate fee upfront and electricity fees either in installments or directly from their daily yields via the "yield deduction mode." Payouts are credited on a T+1 basis and vary according to network difficulty, coin prices, and pool performance.
The platform launches with 10 EH/s allocated for Bitcoin and 200 TH/s for Dogecoin/Litecoin, accounting for approximately 10% of the Dogecoin network. Monthly expansions with thousands of high-efficiency, water-cooled machines are expected.
KuMining's Model: Lower Barriers, Real Hardware, Transparent Yields
KuMining distinguishes itself by targeting individual users, offering a streamlined onboarding experience with KYC compliance, a mobile-accessible dashboard, and no need for technical configuration. Users select a coin, contract length, and hash rate quantity, then monitor daily mining rewards directly from their KuCoin account.
To mitigate risks, KuMining uses a closed-loop structure: KuCoin functions as the exchange layer, while partners handle hardware manufacturing, operations, and energy supply. All mining activity is backed by real hardware, with audits in place to prevent "air mining" scams. Facilities are geographically diversified to reduce downtime and operational concentration.
Additional security measures include full user verification, registration in Abu Dhabi for regulatory oversight, and partnerships with regulated mining pools. Users also benefit from transparent performance data and publicly visible yield outputs.
Comparing Cloud Mining to Spot Trading
In contrast to spot trading, which requires market timing and is highly exposed to volatility, KuMining provides users with predictable daily outputs and the potential for dual-layer returns: mining-based coin yield plus price appreciation. The structured payment model, with upfront hashrate fees and optional electricity auto-deductions, also makes the cost of entry more manageable.
According to recent data, over 70% of day traders underperform market benchmarks, while cloud mining allows for hands-off accumulation aligned with long-term Bitcoin fundamentals. With over 100 million BTC holders globally, cloud mining offers a complementary approach for users seeking stability and utility over speculation.

Looking Ahead: Hashrate as an Onchain Asset Class
As interest in tokenized infrastructure grows, KuMining hints at broader ambitions. Future iterations may explore integrating tokenized hashrate into decentralized finance (DeFi) applications or real-world asset (RWA) frameworks. The long-term goal is to reshape hashrate into a tradable, yield-generating asset accessible through simple interfaces and equitable pricing models.
By lowering entry barriers and redistributing mining access, KuMining positions itself as a tool for decentralization in an industry increasingly governed by large players. With its initial launch focused on BTC and DOGE, the platform lays the foundation for more inclusive participation in crypto's core infrastructure.
