ViaBTC Receives SOC 2 Type II Certification

Mining pool ViaBTC has successfully completed a SOC 2 Type II audit, confirming the effectiveness of its security system in practice. This certification is a response to growing demands for transparency and reliability in the cryptocurrency industry, according to ForkLog representatives.

What is SOC 2?

Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) is a standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that establishes requirements for companies in the areas of security, availability, confidentiality, and integrity of data processing. SOC 2 Type II certification confirms that a company's security mechanisms are effective over time, not just at the time of the audit.

The Importance of Type II Certification

ViaBTC previously received SOC 2 Type I certification in April 2025, which confirmed the appropriateness of its security system configuration at the time of the audit. A Type II certification, obtained through a more in-depth and lengthy audit, confirms that a company's security measures are effective in real-world conditions over a specified period. The auditors assessed three key areas: infrastructure security, service availability, and user data privacy. The audit lasted several months and covered the platform's real-world operating conditions.

Company Representative Comments

ViaBTC representatives noted: "The company will continue to strengthen risk management and data protection to ensure a safe and secure mining environment for users worldwide." This underscores the company's commitment to high standards of security and transparency.

ViaBTC's Position in 2025

According to mempool.space, as of November 2025, ViaBTC ranks third among mining pools with a share of approximately 12%, behind only Foundry USA (29%) and AntPool (18%). The company supports mining for over 20 cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Kaspa. In the Litecoin/Dogecoin and Kaspa merged mining segments, the pool ranks first and third globally, respectively.

In Conclusion

Since its founding in 2016, ViaBTC has served users in 150 countries and regions. In October 2025, the pool was awarded the "Mining Pool of the Year" award at the Blockchain Life forum in Dubai. At the event, the company presented its ecosystem, consisting of five services: the pool, the CoinEx exchange, the CoinEx Wallet, the ViaBTC Capital investment platform, and the crypto loan service.
