The Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Holdings announced the creation of a mining pool.<\/p>\n

According to the press release<\/a>, the SBI Crypto unit has been mining cryptocurrency at facilities outside Japan since 2017 and is now opening its services to users.<\/p>\n

From March 19, they gained the ability to join the pool via an account-opening request. From April, the company will simplify the procedure for subscribing to the service.<\/p>\n

“While many of the features developed are intended for institutional clients, the service is also available to individuals,” the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

SBI Crypto uses its current hash rate of 1.1 EH\/s to support the pool’s stability.<\/p>\n

According to BTC.com<\/a>, SBI Crypto Pool accounts for 1.6% of the total Bitcoin network hash rate. With a hash rate of around 2.4 EH\/s it ranks 11th among pools.<\/p>\n

An external security audit of the mining service was conducted by Silent Break.<\/p>\n

SBI noted that part of the pool’s services were developed in addition to the data-centre management service as part of a strategic partnership with Northern Data AG.<\/p>\n

Earlier, SBI Holdings acquired<\/a> an institutional-focused cryptocurrency over-the-counter platform B2C2.<\/p>\n

In February, the group, together with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation announced the launch<\/a> of a blockchain exchange for digital securities.<\/p>\n
