Tether has unveiled a customized modular mining system, introducing a strategy to change the very structure of Bitcoin mining.

According to investment media FXStreet on April 28 (local time), stablecoin issuer Tether has partnered with Bitcoin (BTC) mining equipment manufacturer Canaan and Swiss project management company ACME Swisstech to unveil a new custom computing-based mining infrastructure. The system is designed to improve efficiency, scalability, and cost control.

The core of this system is its shift from existing integrated mining equipment to a hash board module-centric structure. Tether explained that it has integrated purpose-built hash board modules into its own infrastructure, combining them with a thermal management system and software stack to maximize performance. This allows for individual component upgrades without replacing the entire rig.

Notably, the computing, power, and cooling systems are designed separately. Each element can be optimized independently, aiming for both energy cost reduction and performance improvement simultaneously. Immersion Cooling technology is applied to efficiently control heat generation, allowing real-time performance adjustments based on the mining environment.

Operators now have the flexibility for situation-specific operations, with the ability to replace individual components and expand gradually. Tether stated that it is currently developing additional cooling systems, suggesting that mining optimization tailored to regional conditions will expand in the future. CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized that the structure allows for direct control over cost, efficiency, and performance.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $76,000 at the same time, continuing its downward trend from its recent high of $79,486. The Fear & Greed Index, which reflects market sentiment, fell to 33 from 47 the previous week. In the short term, $75,000 has been identified as a key support level, and $80,000 as a critical resistance level to determine the continuation of the upward trend.
