Key Takeaways of the Market:

According to Coherent Market Insights' study, China accounted for the largest share in the global cryptocurrency mining market in 2016. This is owing to the availability of low cost electricity and low temperature zones that are favorable for these operations. As of 2016, 56% of the pools were based in China followed by 16% based in the U.S. However, location of the mining pool operator does not necessarily means the contribution of the computing power in the region. This is owing to the fact that organizations and individual miners can easily switch between pools and can be based from any region.
