OKX has placed a hold on its crypto mining pool and similar services. New users won’t be able to sign up starting from January 26, 2024. Following a declaration made by the crypto exchange, current users can still access their services till February 25, 2024. During this period, users can make changes to their mining operations.
OKX Urges Users To Migrate Before The Deadline
The OKX platform says it will pause all other services related to mining. This will occur after the shutdown of its mining pool’s operation on February 26, 2024. It marks the end of a time for crypto lovers who chose OKX for crypto mining.
Although the decision may be disturbing to some users, OKX has promised to provide the best services to its community. The platform urges users to make variations to their mining operations before the end of services.
The mining of Bitcoin has become an essential blockchain technology component. It enables the authorization of crypto transactions and the creation of new tokens via a computational method. Miners are crucial in building robust security for a more secure Bitcoin blockchain.
Miners use a consensus mechanism to ensure the blockchain’s ledger is trustworthy and unchangeable. Users receive mining rewards, which motivates them to use computers for the blockchain. Mining is still a viable way to earn Bitcoin despite the competition and need for energy.
OKX Extends Crypto Exchange Service To UAE
OKX’s subsidiary recently got a license from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to become a Virtual Asset Service Provider. This came after OKX acquired a preparatory license from VARA for its operations in Dubai.
The recent approval allows the exchange to present spot trading services and pairs to renowned institutions and eligible retail users in the Middle East. The Finance Magnates stated that the platform is currently not in operation. This is because it has some pending conditions and local requirements.
Last year in Brazil, OKX introduced its crypto exchange and a new Web 3 wallet. It aims to facilitate cryptocurrency trading and make decentralized financial services available. Also, it presents many cryptocurrencies to users in Brazil.
However, the OKX wallet guarantees easy access to many decentralized applications, DeFi protocols, and non-fungible tokens, corresponding with the increasing awareness of Web 3 technology. This step into Brazil fits OKX’s bigger plan to reach more customers globally and offer a range of services.
