Two sponsored stories published in early September 2026 are promoting cloud mining contract platforms FTmining and EiCrypto, targeting readers with promises of passive crypto income and automated mining returns.
FTmining presents itself as a hash power leasing platform that compares crypto opportunity hunting to football scouting. It offers a $15 sign-up bonus and daily login bonus of $0.75, and lists four contract tiers: a $100 two-day Starter contract with approx. $108 total profit; an $800 five-day Stable contract with approx. $852.80; a $5,000 20-day Professional contract with approx. $6,520; and a $25,000 28-day Premium contract with approx. $38,300. The platform says profits are credited within 24 hours and can be withdrawn or reinvested.
EiCrypto markets Bitcoin-linked contract plans as an alternative to active BTC trading. It advertises a $15 new-user bonus and deposits in BTC, USDT, ETH, LTC, USDC, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA and BCH. Its advertised packages include a $100 two-day Novice plan with around $108 total return, a $600 five-day Basic plan with about $639, a $1,200 ten-day plan with about $1,362, $2,500 15-day and $11,000 25-day Stable plans, and a $24,000 30-day plan with roughly $38,040. A testimonial from a Barcelona-based Bitcoin holder claims daily income around $4,000.
Both articles are clearly marked as third-party disclosures, noting that advertised returns and customer income claims are promotional and not independently verified. No regulatory or independent audit information is provided, and readers are advised to conduct their own research before committing funds.
