GoMining Appoints R136 Ventures Founder to Advisory Board

GoMining, a prominent Bitcoin mining platform, has announced the appointment of Victor Orlovski, the founder and managing partner of R136 Ventures, to its Advisory Board. This strategic move was revealed on Monday, June 30. Orlovski brings a wealth of experience to the role, managing $420 million in assets and a portfolio that includes over 30 high-growth tech firms. His expertise has been instrumental in guiding multiple companies through initial public offerings (IPOs) and Fortune 500 exits. Additionally, Orlovski is the author of the bestselling book From Rhino to Unicorn, which explores how legacy institutions can adapt to the digital age.

Orlovski's addition to the GoMining Advisory Board underscores a broader trend within the crypto-mining industry towards professionalization. He joins a distinguished team that includes Tal Cohen, the former CEO of Kraken US and a strategist at McKinsey, Gleb Kostarev, who led Binance’s expansion in Asia-CIS, and Igor Milihram, a key figure behind Magic Eden’s NFT marketplace. Together, the Advisory Board will focus on enhancing regulated finance, Web3 infrastructure, and global growth strategies. Their mission also involves identifying regulatory gaps, testing new strategies against market realities, and guiding GoMining as it evolves into a trusted institutional partner. Further advisory roles in areas such as hardware, decentralized finance (DeFi), and core infrastructure are currently being developed.

Orlovski's appointment comes at a pivotal time for the crypto industry, marked by significant changes and growth. Projections indicate that over 950 million people will adopt some form of crypto by the end of 2025, highlighting the increasing mainstream acceptance of digital currencies. Additionally, more than 130 public companies now hold over $87 billion in BTC, signaling a growing institutional demand for scalable and yield-generating infrastructure. GoMining has also recently achieved a significant milestone with the listing of its native GOMINING token on KuCoin, which expands its liquidity and institutional reach.

GoMining currently supports 3.5 million users through its NFT model, where each digital miner represents real terahash capacity in the company’s data centers. The platform also operates a trading marketplace and a GameFi-powered mining game called Miner Wars. Furthermore, GoMining has an institutional arm known as GoMining Institutional and the $100 million Alpha Blocks Fund, custodied by BitGo. The Alpha Blocks Fund is particularly noteworthy as it offers structured exposure to mining-backed cash flows, aligning with the growing interest from traditional finance in exploring productive crypto utilities beyond passive BTC holdings.
