CoinVoice has recently learned that ten regions in Russia will completely ban cryptocurrency mining starting January 1st, with three additional regions implementing partial bans. This government decree was passed on December 23rd, stipulating a complete ban on mining from January 2025 to March 2031. In the other three regions, mining will be partially restricted during each heating season (from November 15th to March 15th of the following year, except for the first year starting from January 1st, 2025).

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated at the end of December that the number of regions banning cryptocurrency mining could increase if requests are received from governors. Authorities in the Republic of Khakassia have already asked the Ministry of Energy to restrict mining activities in the region. [Original link]
