KuPool Appoints SparkPool Veteran Shelton Qiu as COO to Bolster LTC Mining and Expand Multi-Coin Operations

KuPool, the mining arm of global crypto exchange KuCoin, has appointed Shelton Qiu as Chief Operating Officer. Qiu, a seasoned figure in the blockchain and mining industry, brings nearly ten years of experience and previously held key roles as Marketing Director and Business Development Lead at SparkPool, formerly the world’s largest Ethereum mining pool.

The addition of Qiu marks a significant step in KuPool’s ongoing efforts to expand its hashrate capabilities and strengthen its position within the Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) mining ecosystems. His responsibilities will include scaling KuPool’s LTC mining operations, improving system stability, and driving sustainable profitability for professional and institutional miners.

During his time at SparkPool, Qiu played a central role in the pool’s rise to global prominence, helping it achieve and maintain its leadership in Ethereum Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining. He was instrumental in fostering community engagement, advancing technical development, and promoting knowledge-sharing within the industry. At KuPool, Qiu is expected to apply this experience to expand the platform’s technical partnerships and ecosystem integrations, while supporting innovation across multiple mining assets including LTC, DOGE, PEPE, Lucky, and BELLS.

“Qiu’s proven expertise in engineering and ecosystem development will accelerate KuPool’s growth and strengthen our leadership in DOGE and LTC mining,” said Chris Zhu, Head of KuPool.

“I am thrilled to join KuPool at this pivotal moment, bringing my experience to contribute to a platform that prioritizes trust and innovation in mining,” said Shelton Qiu, COO of KuPool. “With KuPool's strong foundation in stable hashrate and high yields for LTC and DOGE, I look forward to advancing technology-driven innovation and user-oriented services to drive further growth, ensuring verifiable returns and enhanced competitiveness for miners worldwide.”

KuPool continues to grow its overall mining presence, with its combined LTC and DOGE pool consistently ranking among the top four globally. The appointment of Qiu is set to further advance KuPool’s goal of building a transparent, high-performance mining infrastructure rooted in the core values of decentralization and Proof of Work.
