Russia Proposes Six-Year Cryptocurrency Mining Ban in Moscow Region
- Mining Ban Proposal: A state commission in Russia has proposed a six-year ban on cryptocurrency mining in Moscow and surrounding areas, expected to take effect by 2032, aimed at managing energy consumption and protecting critical energy infrastructure, which may negatively impact the local economy.
- Local Support: Deputy Energy Minister and local officials emphasize that banning crypto mining will help alleviate electricity supply pressures, particularly amid the ongoing war, with local governments hoping to boost energy reserves to ensure reliable electricity for households and industries.
- Nationwide Expansion Plans: The government is considering extending the mining ban to all 19 administrative regions within Moscow's electricity distribution zone, which would significantly curtail crypto mining activities across Russia's Central Federal District, impacting the country's economic core.
- Legal Consequences: The State Duma has given initial approval to a bill making unregistered mining a criminal offense, with violators facing fines up to 2.5 million rubles and possible imprisonment for up to five years, indicating a growing crackdown on illegal mining activities.
