Quid Miner, a UK-regulated cloud mining platform with a history since 2018, launched eco-friendly contracts in June 2025. This move impacts crypto mining’s sustainability and returns as the industry navigates evolving regulations. The company boasts high-yield returns on short and long-term contracts, emphasizing sustainable practices by promoting green renewable energy usage. The platform provides daily return visibility for investors while maintaining security with multi-layer encryption, but independent audits remain undisclosed. While market reactions remain subdued, some believe Quid Miner’s strategy could influence future mining operations to balance profitability with environmental responsibility. The platform’s potential impact on Layer 1 cryptocurrencies depends on adoption rates and the realization of promised eco-friendly practices.
