New York-Backed Mining Operations Luxor Announces ASIC Trading Desk Service
The bitcoin mining firm Luxor aims to purchase and sell bitcoin mining machines via the company’s new ASIC trading desk service. The press release published on Luxor’s web portal explains that the company “will purchase and sell specialized Bitcoin mining hardware on behalf of the Luxor team, miners and investors.” Luxor recently raised $5 million in a Series A led by the firm NYDIG in June 2021.
The 12th-largest mining pool, Luxor, has 0.46 percent of global hashrate (or 801.30 petahash/second) at the time of Wednesday’s writing. Luxor’s ASIC trading desk announcement details that the company is confident in its equipment procuring process.
“After moving tens of thousands of machines and serving miners across a few continents, we established a streamlined process for procuring equipment. Our multinational team has a deep network of ASIC manufacturers, re-sellers, miners, and investors,” Lauren Lin, Luxor’s operations manager remarked during the announcement.
The move to establish a mining rig trading desk follows Foundry’s mining machine marketplace announcement last December. The market is called Foundryx and the firm’s announcement claimed at the time that it had 40,000 mining machines ready for resale. Canaan disclosed that his company established an international after-sales office in Kazakhstan within the first week.
Luxor says the firm will take “principal positions in ASICs to help miners gain access to rigs at fair market prices. “Our ASIC Trading Desk is an important step on our roadmap to becoming a full-scope mining services firm,” Alex Brammer Luxor’s VP of business development explained. Brammer said:
Whether it’s an institutional miner replacing a fleet of new-generation machines or retail buying one rig, we are able to maximize our clients’ capital efficiency and minimize their risk. We aim to make procurement easier so miners spend less time looking for it and more time building it.
