Since March 19, they have been able to join the pool through a request to open an account. From April, the company will simplify the service subscription procedure.
“While many of the features developed are targeted at institutional clients, the service is also available to individuals,” the statement said.
SBI Crypto uses its current hash rate of 1.1 EH/s to ensure the stability of the pool.
SBI Crypto Pool accounts for 1.6% of the total computing power of the Bitcoin network, according to BTC.com. With a hash rate of around 2.4 EH/s, it ranks 11th in the pool ranking.
