ViaBTC to Attend Crypto Summit 2026 in Moscow as a Strategic Partner

ViaBTC announced that it will attend the 9th Crypto Summit 2026 as a strategic partner at MTS Live Hall in Moscow from October 28 to 29, 2026. The event has been held in Russia since 2022 and will bring together miners, investment institutions, trading platforms, technology service providers and policymakers to discuss topics including mining infrastructure, the digital asset market and regulation.

ViaBTC currently operates one of the world’s top four Bitcoin mining pools and is also the largest Zcash (ZEC) mining pool by hashrate. During the conference, its business development director Anton will take part in a roundtable discussion focused on changes in the mining landscape and, drawing on the company’s experience accompanying miners through market cycles, will discuss how mining companies can respond to pressure, improve profitability and find growth opportunities. Business development manager Alina will give a presentation titled “What a Miner Needs to Know About Working in a Pool in 2026,” sharing practical advice on using mining pool services.

The ViaBTC team will meet miners and industry partners face to face at booth S-02, share ten years of mining service experience and discuss cooperation. The company said it hopes to gain a deeper understanding of miners’ real needs and continue improving the stability of its mining services and the flexibility of its revenue management. ViaBTC was founded in 2016 and pioneered the PPS+ payment model, incorporating transaction fees into miner distributions.

ABAB AI Insight

ViaBTC was founded by Yang Haipo in 2016 and launched its Bitcoin mining pool, and in the same year introduced the PPS+ model, incorporating transaction fees into miner distributions; it was later adopted by many mainstream mining pools. The company supported Bitcoin Cash during the 2017 Bitcoin scaling dispute and mined the first BCH block. It now ranks among the world’s top four Bitcoin mining pools, while also holding a high hashrate share in other PoW coins such as ZEC, and serves more than 2 million users across more than 150 countries and regions.

In terms of funding and competition, mining pool revenue mainly comes from fees paid by miners and the share of block rewards, and miners can switch pools at any time, making market share highly fluid. ViaBTC maintains its position through stable technology, hourly settlements and multi-currency support, but the industry as a whole still faces profitability pressure from electricity price fluctuations, hardware iteration and rising network difficulty. Its attendance at the Moscow event is aimed at miners in Europe and the CIS region, reflecting the mining pool’s continued investment in regional market expansion.

Compared with early mining pools focused mainly on Bitcoin, ViaBTC has expanded into merged mining for LTC/DOGE, ZEC, KAS and several other coins. Russia and the CIS region have distinctive energy costs and miner distribution, and Crypto Summit, as a major local industry event, provides an opportunity for direct contact with local miners, service providers and policy-related parties. However, competition among mining pools still mainly depends on technical reliability, fee structure and payout flexibility, rather than on a single regional event itself.

For miners, regional events add direct communication channels, but the actual choice of mining pool still depends on real-time hashrate share, payout model and operational stability. ViaBTC’s participation as a strategic partner more reflects its ongoing attention to the needs of miners in specific regions, rather than changing global mining pool concentration or the industry’s basic economic structure. Any remaining practical impact will depend on whether local miners adjust their hashrate allocation after face-to-face exchanges.

ABAB News · Cognitive Laws

  1. Mining pool market share is highly fluid, miners can switch at any time, and regional events are difficult to use alone to change the global competitive landscape.

  2. Innovations such as PPS+ payment models can improve short-term attractiveness, but long-term standing still depends on technological stability and continuous service.

  3. Multi-currency support allows mining pools to diversify risk across different PoW networks rather than relying solely on Bitcoin hashrate.
