DeepMarkit Corp. announced that it has nominated HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. President and CEO Aydin Kilic for election to its board of directors at the company’s annual general and special meeting on February 10, 2026.
Aydin Kilic has led HIVE since January 2023, steering the company’s expansion of Bitcoin‑mining capacity and the launch of its BUZZ AI cloud platform. Under his leadership, HIVE has increased its mining output and entered the AI‑driven data‑center market, positioning the firm as a dual‑focus player in digital‑asset infrastructure and high‑performance computing.
DeepMarkit, which is pivoting toward prediction‑market technology, blockchain infrastructure, and tokenization, views Kilic’s experience as a strategic fit. His track record in scaling digital‑asset operations and executing in public markets aligns with DeepMarkit’s goal of accelerating its Prospect Prediction Markets platform and expanding its technology footprint.
Steve Vanry, DeepMarkit’s CEO, said, “Aydin has built and scaled digital‑asset businesses from the ground up, and he understands what it takes to execute in public markets.” Kilic added, “I am honored to be nominated and look forward to contributing my experience in digital infrastructure, capital allocation, and public‑company leadership to support DeepMarkit’s long‑term direction.”
The appointment is expected to strengthen DeepMarkit’s governance and bring fresh perspective on capital‑market execution, potentially accelerating the company’s transition to a broader prediction‑market ecosystem. Kilic’s background in renewable‑energy‑powered mining and AI data‑center operations may also inform DeepMarkit’s strategy for low‑cost, high‑performance infrastructure in emerging markets.
HIVE’s recent expansion into Paraguay, leveraging hydroelectric power, and its partnership with Bell Canada and Dell Technologies for AI workloads demonstrate the operational scale Kilic has managed. His expertise could help DeepMarkit identify similar low‑cost infrastructure opportunities and enhance its technology platform’s scalability.
While no market reaction data is available at this time, the nomination signals DeepMarkit’s intent to deepen its ties to the digital‑asset sector and reinforce its leadership in prediction‑market technology. The move is likely to be viewed positively by stakeholders who see value in combining DeepMarkit’s platform with Kilic’s proven execution record.
