Surge in Illegal Cryptocurrency Mining in Russia's Irkutsk Region
- Illegal Mining Surge: Energy providers in Russia's Irkutsk region have identified around 8,000 illegal cryptocurrency mining farms, with the actual number likely higher, raising significant concerns about grid stability and electricity theft.
- Disguised Operations: Many illegal setups disguise mining equipment as heating systems for greenhouses or poultry farms, exploiting subsidized residential electricity tariffs, which makes small-scale mining operations difficult to detect and complicates regulatory efforts.
- Legal Actions and Economic Impact: Since 2019, over 2,170 lawsuits have been filed by energy companies, totaling claims of about 1.4 billion rubles, with around 700 million rubles recovered, indicating a strong legal crackdown on illegal mining activities.
- Regulatory Shift: As enforcement intensifies, illegal mining becomes less viable, with energy companies gaining a larger role in sector regulation, pushing the Russian crypto mining market towards a more compliant and structured environment.
