RUSSIA’S 6-YEAR BAN ON MINING DROPS IN 10 REGIONS

Russia just pulled the plug on crypto mining in 10 regions starting Jan. 1, stretching all the way to 2031.

The energy squeeze is real: mining ops are officially grounded where power demand is peaking, including places like Dagestan and Chechnya.

Mining pools are off-limits too, with temporary bans rolling out in other areas when the grid gets stressed.

Russia’s play? Keep mining legal but strictly controlled. Cross-border crypto payments stay alive, but the internal energy grind is steering the scene hard.
