GoMining, a Bitcoin (BTC) mining platform, has announced that Victor Orlovski, founder and managing partner of R136 Ventures, is joining its Advisory Board, as per the reports shared with Finbold on Monday, June 30.
With $420 million under his management and a portfolio featuring 30+ high-growth tech firms, Orlovski is known for aiding multiple companies to initial public offerings (IPOs) and Fortune 500 exits.
He’s also the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller From Rhino to Unicorn (2022), a book on how legacy institutions can evolve in the digital age.
His advisory role at GoMining, therefore, reflects a broader trend of crypto-mining professionalization.
GoMining Advisory Board
At GoMining, Orlovski is joining a team that includes Tal Cohen, former Kraken US CEO and McKinsey strategist, Gleb Kostarev, who led Binance’s Asia-CIS expansion, and Igor Milihram, a founding force behind Magic Eden’s non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace.
Together, the Advisory Board will work on improving regulated finance, Web3 infrastructure, and global growth execution.
As part of their mission, the team will also identify regulatory blind spots, test new strategies against market realities, and help guide GoMining as it evolves into a trusted institutional partner.
Additional advisory roles spanning hardware, decentralized finance (DeFi), and core infrastructure are currently in the pipeline.
Changes in the crypto industry
Orlovski’s arrival comes at a time of some drastic changes in the market.
According to some projections, for example, more than 950 million people will adopt some form of crypto by the end of 2025.
In addition, more than 130 public companies now hold over $87 billion in BTC, meaning institutional demand for scalable, yield-generating infrastructure is growing.
In addition to Orlovski’s appointment, GoMining has recently reached another milestone, namely the listing of its native GOMINING token on KuCoin, expanding liquidity and institutional reach.
GoMining growth
GoMining currently supports 3.5 million users with its NFT model, where each digital miner represents real terahash capacity in the company’s data centers.
In addition, GoMining operates a trading marketplace, the GameFi-powered mining game called Miner Wars, and an institutional arm called GoMining Institutional, alongside the $100 million Alpha Blocks Fund custodied by BitGo.
The Alpha Blocks Fund is especially notable, offering structured exposure to mining-backed cash flows.
This is a key innovation as traditional finance (TradFi) now seeks to explore productive crypto utilities and move past exclusively passive BTC holdings.
