EMCD launches Miner Support Program with up to $30M for miners amid industry’s steepest profitability squeeze

Published

on

Panama City, Panama, July 27th, 2026, Chainwire

EMCD, a global crypto-fintech platform and one of the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pools, announced the launch of its Miner Support Program, providing eligible miners with access to up to $30 millions* in financing, fee relief and partner benefits.

The program launches against a challenging backdrop. Bitcoin’s hashprice — the key measure of mining revenue per unit of compute — has declined to approximately $28/PH/day, a 50% drop from its October 2025 peak and an all-time post-halving low, per CoinShares Q1 2026 data. An estimated 252 EH/s has been taken offline (According to Hashrate Index data, cited in CoinCentral, April 2026) as operators running older-generation hardware found margins no longer viable. Three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments, the first such streak since July 2022, signal broad capitulation across the sector. EMCD, which has operated its mining pool since 2017 and processed over 4,550 BTC mined by its users in 2025, sees the current period as both a stress test and a structural opportunity for operators who remain active.

Program Structure

As margins compress across the industry, EMCD has put together a concrete response: restructured fees, negotiated hardware and infrastructure deals, and opened access to its liquidity and yield products — a toolkit built around how mining businesses actually work, available to operators in any region.

Miners facing cash flow pressure can access EMCD’s secured liquidity facilities at 3.9% APR — to cover operational costs without selling assets into a down market. Unlike generic crypto-backed credit lines, EMCD products are built around mining-specific cash flow cycles and are bundled with the rest of the program, so the effective cost of capital comes down further when combined with fee relief and hardware savings rather than being judged on rate alone.

Those looking to protect margins on every block can apply for zero pool commission for 60 days, reducing overhead while hashprice remains depressed. Miners running older or underperforming hardware can unlock preferential pricing on Vnish firmware — the market’s leading third-party ASIC optimization software. Those looking to expand or relocate capacity get access to special terms on equipment and data center services through EMCD’s partner network. 

Partner Participation

EMCD is inviting hardware manufacturers, data centers, and hosting providers to join the program by offering exclusive terms to eligible miners. Partner applications can be submitted at the website: https://support-miners.emcd.io/.

“We’ve been through every cycle in this industry since 2017 — the rallies, the winters, the halvings. What we’ve learned is that the operators who survive aren’t the ones who wait out the downturns. They’re the ones who use them. This program is our commitment to making sure our miners have the tools to do exactly that.” — Michael Jerlis, Founder & CEO, EMCD.

*The stated amount reflects the maximum aggregate value of support (including financing, fee reductions and partner offers) that may be made available under the program and does not constitute a reserved fund.

About EMCD

EMCD is the global cryptocurrency mining pool and infrastructure provider. Founded in 2017 as an early industrial BTC mining operation in Europe, EMCD now serves users and businesses across 120+ markets. With over 30 EH/s of hashrate and a place in the global top ten, EMCD committed to security, reliability and transparency.

K3 Capital Extends a Credit Facility to Galaxy through Accountable’s Vault Infrastructure on Monad

Published

on

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 27th, 2026, FinanceWire

Accountable today announced the launch of an onchain facility extending credit from K3 Capital to Galaxy, available on Monad to allocators through Accountable’s yield marketplace. The facility launches fully subscribed at $30 million in committed capital, with additional capacity to be opened as LPs complete onboarding in the coming weeks, targeting $100M in deposits. Denominated in AUSD, the facility is structured so that the deployment of capital to Galaxy, facility status, and interest activity remain independently verifiable onchain for the duration of the loan. 

“With this vault, K3 Capital extends a structured credit line to Galaxy, fully deployed and verifiable onchain on Monad. Our Vault-as-a-Service gives operators like K3 the flexibility to configure credit products to their specific requirements, while the Data Verification Network provides independent, continuous proof of capital deployment and facility activity for the facility lifetime,” said Wojtek Pawlowski, Co-founder and CEO of Accountable.

Allocators deposit AUSD into the vault; K3 manages LP supply; Galaxy borrows demand and blends different individual loans to improve overall liquidity for depositors. Accountable’s verification layer provides ongoing proof that capital has been deployed as described, that the facility status matches what is reported, and that interest is accruing and being distributed as scheduled. 

K3 Capital’s Edge

With ~$400M in assets under management, K3 Capital runs one of the largest delta-neutral DeFi funds in the market and ranks among the top asset managers & operators across lending platforms and vault infrastructure providers such as Midas, Euler and Accountable. Galaxy, an industry-leading name across digital asset markets, is committed to building the digital asset ecosystem. Credit markets are a core part of Galaxy’s Global Markets franchise and bringing credit trading onchain is an extension of its mission to evolve digital asset market infrastructure.

“Traditional credit products run better on DeFi rails. DeFi composability allows users to derive further utility – whether it is locking their yield on Pendle or borrowing against their vault shares, there is always something to do.” said Kiril Nikolov, Founder of K3 Capital.

What sets the facility apart

The K3 x Galaxy Lending Vault is designed around four structural advantages that together define the product’s edge for institutional allocators:

– Professional Liquidity Management: The vault pools liquidity and yield generation with predictable redemption horizons for LPs. Each loan carries a 90-day maturity and is rollable, with up to 30% of principal eligible for monthly redemption. Accountable’s verification layer provides continuous tracking of capital deployments to Galaxy, facility status and onchain transactions associated with the facility to validate their returns and use. 

The Borrower is a Publicly Traded Company: Galaxy(Nasdaq: GLXY) is a publicly traded company subject to regulatory reporting obligations across more than a dozen U.S. and international regulators. The borrower in this facility is far from being an opaque counterparty but an institution with public financial disclosure, quarterly earnings, and audit obligations built into how it operates. Galaxy’s public filings demonstrate total equity of $2.8 billion and cash and stablecoin holdings of $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2026. Accountable’s infrastructure complements Galaxy’s existing reporting framework by providing allocators with zero-knowledge cryptographic proof of the vault’s underlying data and loan health, without exposing proprietary trading strategies or sensitive counterparty data. This is the first time an onchain credit facility of this kind has been extended to a borrower with this regulatory and disclosure profile.

– Native DeFi Composability: Liquidity tokens representing vault positions are fully composable across DeFi protocols on Monad. Allocators can port their positions into protocols such as Pendle for principal/yield splitting and fixed-yield hedging, as well as secondary lending markets. By combining these different primitives, vault depositors can improve not only their returns but also the liquidity, predictability and overall flexibility of their assets. 

Institutional Distribution on DeFi rails: Built on Monad’s high-throughput settlement layer and denominated in Agora’s AUSD, the facility benefits from deep liquidity, institutional on/off-ramps, and broad distribution across the Monad ecosystem. AUSD’s cumulative transfer volume exceeds $73 billion to date.

The vault is built on Vault-as-a-Service, Accountable’s framework for deploying onchain capital products with verification embedded from day one, and is listed on YieldApp, Accountable’s marketplace for verifiable yield.

Depositors can confirm that AUSD has been deployed to Galaxy, independently verify the size and status of the outstanding facility, and follow interest accruals and repayments as they occur.

Accountable has been operating verification infrastructure since 2024, with institutional clients spanning market making, stablecoin reserves, tokenized vaults, and onchain credit, including Galaxy, Keyrock, RockawayX, and Valos. The K3 facility represents a structured credit arrangement between two named institutional counterparties, deployed onchain with continuous, independent verification of capital flows. It arrives as institutional allocators increasingly require continuous visibility into the positions they are underwriting, and as onchain infrastructure matures to meet that standard.

About K3 Capital

K3 Capital is a BVI-registered investment fund and a spin-off from one of the largest centralized lenders and asset managers in the digital-asset space. Since launching in 2021, the team has operated under a strict delta-neutral mandate, managing a nine-figure portfolio across multiple market regimes and liquidity conditions: from being among the earliest and largest liquidity providers on Curve and Lido during the heights of DeFi Summer to navigating the Terra Luna and FTX collapses, and the Stream Finance incident more recently.

Virtuix Poised for Growth After Meta Launch: Omni One for Quest Drives Consumer and Commercial Demand

Published

on

New York, United States, July 27th, 2026, FinanceWire

Virtuix Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX) is entering a new growth chapter following the launch of Omni One for Quest in collaboration with Meta. While the company will review its upcoming Q1 fiscal 2027 results on August 13, investors’ focus centers on the long-term commercial momentum sparked by this strategic product launch.

A Consumer Catalyst

The Omni One for Quest brings Virtuix’s full-body locomotion technology to Meta’s massive XR user base. With over 20 million headsets sold, Meta’s platform serves as the primary mainstream gateway for virtual reality, and integrating Omni One promises to convert casual users into deeply engaged participants.

For consumers, the value proposition is straightforward: an accessible, room-scale 360-degree treadmill that heightens immersion for gaming, fitness, and social XR without complex setup hurdles. Pre-launch demonstrations highlighted intuitive assembly and a growing content pipeline, reducing buyer hesitation and positioning Omni One as an immediate top-line catalyst.

Expanding Beyond Consumer Gaming

Beyond gaming, Omni One for Quest unlocks substantial commercial and institutional opportunities:

●  Fitness & Wellness: Full-body movement paired with gamified workouts creates new subscription opportunities and recurring software revenue.

●  Enterprise & Education: Combining Omni One hardware with Quest software enables cost-effective, repeatable simulation environments—from industrial safety drills to soft-skills training—without the overhead of custom VR rigs.

●  Defense & Healthcare: Defense clients are testing Omni One for scalable mission simulation with AI-driven analytics, while healthcare partners evaluate therapeutic applications where controlled motion tasks deliver clinical value.

Strategic Leverage of Meta’s Ecosystem

Partnering with Meta provides an ecosystem advantage far beyond branding. Virtuix gains direct access to Meta’s developer community, store distribution, and an estimated 6 million active users, initiating a virtuous growth cycle:

  1. Richer content drives hardware adoption.
  2. Increased hardware deployment incentivizes third-party development.
  3. Expanding libraries elevate user engagement and customer lifetime value.

To handle anticipated demand, Virtuix has optimized manufacturing and streamlined supply chain logistics to handle production of up to 3,000 units a month, resulting in an estimated $100 million in annual revenue potential.

Outlook: A Foundational Inflection Point

Management frames the Omni One for Quest launch not as a single-quarter boost, but as the foundation of a multi-segment growth strategy that is accelerating Virtuix’s sales momentum. If early adoption signals hold, bringing Omni One to Meta’s ecosystem could mark the defining inflection point for Virtuix’s next expansion phase.
