Kasrate Private Mining Pool Drives Kaspa (KAS) Efficiency and Profitability Amid Market Downturn
Kaspa (KAS) miners have faced increased challenges in 2025, with the KAS token falling over 35% and block rewards dropping by 5% each month due to planned emission cuts. Many miners have shut down operations in response to declining profitability. In this tough climate, Kasrate, a crypto mining infrastructure provider, has launched a private, invite-only mining pool tailored specifically for the Kaspa blockchain and its GhostDAG protocol. Kasrate’s custom-built infrastructure improves mining efficiency, optimizes ASIC utilization, reduces latency, and ensures more stable rewards. Comparative reports indicate miners using Kasrate experience a 15–30% increase in net profitability versus public mining pools, with no need for hardware modifications. Having onboarded high-throughput miners and currently controlling nearly 3% of Kaspa’s total hashrate, Kasrate has set its sights on capturing 15–25% by the end of 2025. The minimum entry to join was recently lowered to 500 TH/s, opening access to more professional miners. Kasrate also offers real-time dashboards and automated management tools to boost transparency and ease of reward tracking. Amid Kaspa’s market volatility and declining mining rewards, Kasrate aims to be a leading solution for efficient, profitable Proof-of-Work mining, with ambitions to expand its model to other PoW coins in the future.
Bearish
Kaspa (KAS) faces a bearish outlook due to its over 35% price drop in 2025 and scheduled 5% monthly cut to block rewards, which reduces mining profitability and has forced many miners to shut down operations. The launch and growth of Kasrate’s private mining pool offer a partial offset by optimizing mining returns and efficiency, especially for larger, professional miners. However, this improvement primarily benefits a subset of miners, rather than the KAS market broadly. While Kasrate’s technical advancement may stabilize the network’s hashrate and boost efficiency, it is unlikely to significantly counteract the negative pressure on KAS price or overall miner sentiment in the short term. Historically, declining token prices and emissions have led to lower market confidence and further sell-offs, outweighing the positive effects of mining optimization infrastructure.
