The cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing a surge in platforms promoting low-barrier, smartphone-accessible methods for generating passive income, with DLMining and SolStaking emerging as prominent examples. These services leverage cloud mining and AI-driven staking models, respectively, targeting holders of major cryptocurrencies like USDT, XRP, SOL, BTC, and ETH.
DLMining, a UK-based platform founded in 2014, positions itself as a portable cloud mining service. It centralizes the complex hardware, energy, and maintenance aspects of cryptocurrency mining in remote data centers. Users can rent computing power via a smartphone app, with mined cryptocurrencies automatically distributed to their accounts daily. The platform claims over 5 million registered users and owns approximately 3-4% of the global Bitcoin hashrate. It offers a range of daily-settled contracts, from a $100 Litecoin (LTC) contract yielding $4 daily to a $50,000 Bitcoin (BTC) contract promising $1,250 daily. The process involves simple registration, contract selection, and automatic earnings settlement, supplemented by a multi-level referral reward system.
Concurrently, SolStaking, operated by U.S.-registered Sol Investments, LLC, offers an AI-automated staking cloud mining service. This model is gaining traction as the XRP Ledger (XRPL) surpasses $1 billion in on-chain assets. Instead of manual trading, users can allocate assets like XRP, BTC, ETH, or SOL into automated contracts. The platform emphasizes that its returns are backed by real-world asset (RWA) revenue streams, including AI data centers, sovereign bonds, physical commodities, and infrastructure projects. Key processes are independently audited by PwC, with asset custody insured through Lloyd's of London. A sample contract involves a $30,000 equivalent XRP stake over 30 days, with fully automated, daily settlement.
Both platforms highlight a shift from viewing cryptocurrencies merely as speculative holdings to tools for generating consistent cash flow. They lower the technical and financial barriers traditionally associated with mining and advanced DeFi strategies, leveraging smartphone accessibility and automation to appeal to a broader audience.
