Data Projects Positive Outlook for the Cryptocurrency Mining Market

NEW YORK, March 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a report published by Coherent Market Insights, the cryptocurrency mining market was valued at US $ 610.91 million in 2016 and is expected to reach US $38.38 billion by 2025, while growing at a compound annual growth rate of 29.7 percent over the forecast period. The main source of revenue from cryptocurrency mining involves block rewards and transaction fees. The report indicated that block reward (new bitcoins distributed by the network to miners for each successfully solved block) accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016. Transaction fees are expected to be increased rapidly in the near future and have accounted for around 10 percent of total revenues in 2017. Chineseinvestors.com, Inc.

For the mining types, cloud mining and remote hosting services dominated the cryptocurrency mining market in 2016. The remote hosting services segment is expected to increase its market share thanks to low costs, no maintenance issues, and long duration uptimes. According to Coherent Market Insights' study, China held the largest share in the cryptocurrency mining market in 2016 due to its availability of low cost electricity and low temperature zones. The report explains that, "as of 2016, 56% of the pools were based in China followed by 16% based in the U.S. However, location of the mining pool operator does not necessarily means the contribution of the computing power in the region. This is owing to the fact that organizations and individual miners can easily switch between pools and can be based from any region."
