For the first time, UAE residents can mine Bitcoins in a regulated environment through Cloud Miner, a newly launched service by du. The UAE telco unveiled the platform on November 2, 2025, at the Burj Khalifa, in a milestone for digital asset services in the area.
Cloud Miner offers subscription-based mining contracts, each delivering 250 TH/s capacity for a 24-month term through a transparent, fixed-fee model. Importantly, users avoid the typical burdens of mining: no hardware purchase, no managing of electricity costs, and no maintenance issues.
It is critically important that the service is fully regulated: account access uses UAE Pass for KYC/AML compliance, and it operates from data centres within the UAE-keeping operations under local financial oversight and data-protection frameworks. Gulf News By offering mining “as a service” through a UAE-hosted platform, du is allowing wider digital participation in the crypto economy for residents—without having to deal with the complexity or risk of navigating unregulated offshore providers. It is a timely move as the UAE continues to build its blockchain and digital-finance infrastructure.
