XRPPower Review Sells Mining of an Unmineable Coin

A June 2026 six-platform mining review puts XRPPower beside Bitdeer, but XRP cannot be mined and StormGain had already shut.

A June 2026 roundup of six crypto mining platforms puts XRPPower first, beside Nasdaq-listed Bitdeer and a beginner app that had already closed. The packet, issued for XRP RIPPLE LTD of Romford on 18 June 2026, calls XRPPower an AI-powered digital ecosystem with a presence in 189 countries and regions and more than 3 million registered users. XRP cannot be mined, and the UK company on the letterhead is a micro-entity in a Glandford Way flat.

The review still reads like a buyer’s guide. It is a product pitch that borrows the names of operators who publish hashrate, then spends its praise on a coin the ledger never issues to miners.

Why XRP Cannot Be Mined at All

XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger, which launched in 2012 with its full supply already created. All 100 billion XRP came into existence at genesis. The network has no block reward, no ASIC race, and no way to mint new coins by burning electricity.

Agreement on the ledger comes from validators that a server operator chooses to trust, a Unique Node List, not from whoever spends the most power. Official docs say confirming transactions does not require wasteful or competitive use of resources, unlike most other blockchain systems.

That is the design, not a marketing footnote. Bitcoin pays miners in new coins and fees because proof of work is how the chain picks an order of transactions. The XRP Ledger picks an order by validator proposals and a supermajority fingerprint. Fees are destroyed. Validators are not paid in new XRP for showing up.

WHAT A MINER WOULD BE SELLING

  • New coins: There are none to issue; the 100 billion cap was set at launch.
  • Block rewards: The protocol does not print XRP for whoever proposes a ledger.
  • Hashprice: There is no puzzle whose solution can be rented by the terahash.
  • A 51 percent attack surface: The ledger does not use mining, so that attack model does not apply.

A site can still take deposits, run a dashboard, and label the product cloud mining. It cannot be minting XRP, and it cannot be selling XRP hashrate, because that commodity does not exist. If the contracts are pointed at Bitcoin instead, they still have to clear Bitcoin’s real difficulty, power cost, and pool payouts, which is a different business from a seven-day yield with the stake handed back.

Companies House Shows a Flat, Not a Mining Farm

The media contact on the 18 June release is Zara E Edwards of XRP RIPPLE LTD, Flat 17 Swaffham Court, Glandford Way, Romford, with the number +447778314756. Companies House lists the issuer as Romford micro-company number 15025714, a private limited firm at that same flat.

The company was incorporated on 25 July 2023 with £1,000 of share capital. Its filed nature of business is SIC 82990, other business support service activities not elsewhere classified, not mining. The sole director and person with significant control is Muneeb Quraish, a British national born in February 1989, appointed on day one, with 75 percent or more of the shares and voting rights. Edwards does not appear on the officer list.

XRP RIPPLE LTD is not Ripple, the payments firm tied to the XRP Ledger. It is a three-year-old Romford vehicle that files micro-entity accounts. The register warns that Companies House does not check the accuracy of information filed.

THE ROMFORD FILING TRAIL

  1. 25 July 2023: Incorporated with £1,000 share capital and model articles.
  2. 15 October 2024: First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off.
  3. 16 October 2024: Strike-off action discontinued after a late confirmation statement.
  4. 14 October 2025: First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off, again.
  5. 15 October 2025: Strike-off discontinued again after another late statement.
  6. 30 April 2026: Micro-entity accounts made up to 31 July 2025 are filed.
  7. 18 June 2026: The six-platform mining review goes out in the company’s name.
  8. 7 August 2026: Next confirmation statement is due; the register marked it overdue.

A firm that twice reached the Gazette for late filings, then published a global-user claim measured in the millions, is asking readers to skip the register. Micro-entity accounts are a small-company regime. They are not the reporting stack of a listed miner. The company’s site still sells itself as a platform trusted by over 3 million users worldwide.

Bitdeer, NiceHash, and a Closed Beginner App

The review’s method is grouping. XRPPower sits in a list with ECOS, Bitdeer, NiceHash, Binance Cloud Mining, and StormGain, then takes the adjectives. The packet is a paid roundup dressed as a mining review, and the grouping is doing the work the product description cannot do, because XRP still has no miners.

SIX NAMES IN THE 18 JUNE ROUNDUP

Name in the review How the review frames it What the public record shows
XRPPower AI-powered ecosystem, 189 countries, more than 3 million users XRP RIPPLE LTD, micro-entity, SIC 82990, £1,000 capital, Romford flat
ECOS Structured Bitcoin mining contracts A BTC-focused contract shop, not a listed miner
Bitdeer Institutional mining infrastructure and hosting Nasdaq: BTDR; files hashrate, rig counts, and BTC mined
NiceHash Hash-power marketplace for advanced users A live marketplace for buying and selling compute
Binance Cloud Mining Mining inside a large exchange A product line of a major exchange, not a Romford micro-company
StormGain Simple, mobile mining for beginners Own site: shut on 13 January 2025

Bitdeer, NiceHash, and Binance are real venues with different risks. They publish, or at least operate, products that map onto proof-of-work compute. StormGain does not. Its homepage tells visitors the platform and related services have been permanently discontinued as of 13 January 2025, with active balances moved to YouHodler.

That shutdown predates the review by the stretch from 13 January 2025 to 18 June 2026. The roundup still offers StormGain as the beginner door. Anyone checking the sixth name against its own site would have dropped it. The review did not.

Advertised Daily Yields Outrun What Miners File

Promotional copy that ran with the XRPPower name in 2026 sells short contracts with a daily figure and the principal returned at maturity. One package repeated in that copy is a $1,000 seven-day contract that pays $13.20 a day, $92.40 over the week, then hands the $1,000 back. That is 9.24 percent in seven days, before any referral overlay. New users are offered a $21 bonus. Invite terms in the same copy pay 3 percent on direct recruits and 2 percent on the next level.

Bitcoin miners who actually run machines do not write contracts that way. They file coins produced, hashrate, power used, and sometimes hosting revenue. Bitdeer Technologies Group, the industrial name sitting next to XRPPower in the roundup, reported for the first quarter of 2026 a period-end self-mining hashrate of 65.1 EH/s, an average 63.2 EH/s against 9.7 EH/s a year earlier (a 551.5 percent rise), 2,033 BTC mined, 207,000 self-mining rigs, and $188.9 million of revenue against $70.1 million. Cloud hash-rate revenue in that quarter was $3.7 million. The filing does not offer retail buyers 9.24 percent in a week with the stake refunded.

TWO SETS OF FIGURES

  • Advertised XRPPower week: $13.20 a day on $1,000, $92.40 total, principal returned, plus a $21 signup bonus.
  • Bitdeer Q1 2026: 65.1 EH/s self-mining at period end, 2,033 BTC mined, $188.9 million revenue, Nasdaq ticker BTDR.
  • XRPPower user claim: more than 3 million registered users across 189 countries and regions.
  • XRP issuance: 100 billion coins at the 2012 launch, none created by mining since.

Fixed daily yield plus a full refund of principal is a cash-flow shape. It is not a description of what a miner earns after difficulty, fees, and power. When the same shape is tied to XRP, the gap is wider, because the asset in the brand name has no mining market at all. U.S. cases against fake cloud-mining shops already showed how a dashboard can display earnings while almost none of the claimed machines exist. HashFlare’s founders pleaded guilty in February 2025. The XRPPower review never explains where its compute lives, which chain it points at, or how a 9.24 percent week is supposed to come out of that hardware.

Who the Release Names, and Who the Register Names

Edwards is the face on the press copy. Quraish is the name on the register. The release leans on SSL/TLS, two-factor login, enterprise DDoS protection, a friendly dashboard, and 24/7 support, the standard lock-icons of a retail crypto site. None of those controls create XRP, and none of them turn SIC 82990 into a farm.

Trustpilot’s listing for xrppower.com, updated in early September 2026, carried a warning that the company’s rating was unavailable after a breach of guidelines. The page said fake reviews had been removed and counted 14 reviews in 12 months. Fourteen public reviews is not a rebuttal by itself. It is a thin trail next to a claim of more than 3 million registered users.

Quraish’s identity verification on the register was due by 7 August 2026, the same window as the confirmation statement. A reader who opens the company file sees a late-filing pattern, a support-services SIC code, and a single director at a Romford flat. A reader who only opens the review sees 189 countries and an AI stack.

A $21 Bonus Campaign Where Miners Would Argue

Search the product name on X in late summer 2026 and the feed is not a fight about pool luck or power prices. It is the same caption pasted across accounts: no equipment, automatic daily revenue, tap the link, exclusive $21 bonus. That is the attention the review calls growth. It is an affiliate loop.

A mining marketplace produces arguments about hashprice, downtime, and payout on chain. A deposit product with a bonus, a seven-day clock, and a referral split produces signups. The June review never separates those two businesses. It just sets XRPPower next to Bitdeer and hopes the reader treats them as cousins.

WHAT WE KNOW

  • The asset: XRP is not mined; 100 billion coins were created at the 2012 launch.
  • The company: XRP RIPPLE LTD is company 15025714, a Romford micro-entity directed by Muneeb Quraish.
  • The sixth platform: StormGain’s own site says it shut on 13 January 2025.
  • The offer in circulation: a $1,000 seven-day contract at $13.20 a day, principal back, $21 bonus.

WHAT IS UNCONFIRMED

  • The user count: no audited figure supports more than 3 million registered users.
  • The machines: no public hashrate, pool, or data-centre disclosure matches the mining label.
  • The payouts: advertised daily yields are not tied to a named chain’s real output.

The register still points at Flat 17 Swaffham Court. The ledger still has no miners. The beginner platform in the roundup still says it is gone. Anyone treating the 18 June packet as due diligence is reading a brochure that could not survive those three checks.
