Bitcoin mining pool Poolin files for bankruptcy, owing $164 million to 11,700 users

AI Market Summary
Poolin's bankruptcy filing, with $164m owed to 11,700 users, is an infrastructure-level shock for the BTC mining ecosystem. It raises immediate uncertainty around custody of hosted hashrate proceeds, potential asset liquidation, and withdrawal freezes. The event also amplifies counterparty and segregation concerns across centralized mining pools, likely tightening risk premia for miners and service providers in the near term.
