EMCD’s mining pool hit 34.11 EH/s in 2025 — a 58% jump year over year. More than 66,500 active miners across 100 countries collectively mined 4,550 BTC. North America, LATAM, MENA and APAC drove the strongest regional growth. The platform supports 17 mineable cryptocurrencies, giving miners flexibility to shift between assets as market conditions change.
Those numbers tell the mining story. Yet the more interesting story is what EMCD built alongside it.
EMCD launched in 2018 as one of the top-ranked mining pools globally. It spent 2025 accelerating a transition toward integrated crypto-financial services. Mining remains the foundation. But the company added savings products, trading infrastructure, crypto-backed loans, payment cards and a Telegram-native wallet during the year. Each targets users who want to do more with crypto than accumulate it.
The Coinhold savings product paid out $3.7 million in rewards during 2025. Active holders exceeded 13,500. Total value locked grew more than 45%, crossing $60 million. The average user balance of $4,200 suggests something beyond casual engagement. People hold meaningful sums and collect yield rather than sit on exchanges waiting to trade.
Trading activity on the EMCD exchange reached $90 million in volume across more than 400,000 completed trades. The launch of 30-plus new pairs, including TON and DOGE, expanded the range available to users. That aligned the platform with demand patterns in its growing regional markets.
Meanwhile, user growth ran in parallel. EMCD onboarded more than 160,000 new users during the year and extended localisation to 25 languages. By December, the platform held an active presence across six continents. That came from deliberate market-specific expansion, not broad undifferentiated reach.
Still, product launches filled out the picture. Crypto-backed loans, free payment cards and enhanced staking products arrived during 2025. A wallet and card experience integrated into a Telegram mini-app targeted the gap between Web2 habits and Web3 infrastructure. Instant transfers via email and phone number supported that aim. EMCD continues to expand access to these products across additional jurisdictions.
Sofia Goldman, Chief Creative and Marketing Officer at EMCD, framed the year’s work plainly. “2025 made it clear that technology proves its value through reliability and real use cases, not promises,” she said. “Our focus has been on building resilient infrastructure and transparent services that users can rely on regardless of market conditions.”
For 2026, EMCD points to compliance-driven geographic expansion, deeper external partnerships and continued security investment as its priorities. The strategic direction holds consistent with the 2025 pattern. Less about announcing capabilities, more about deploying them in regulated markets where users can actually access them.
