🇷🇺 The future of cryptocurrency mining in Russia is at risk as the cabinet has approved a ban on mining operations in several regions, including Dagestan and Chechnya. Effective from January 1, 2025, the ban will last until March 15, 2031, with seasonal restrictions in place. Authorities cite energy shortages as the main reason, while some link the ban to the end of energy subsidies. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak emphasized that social energy usage will take priority. This follows President Putin's legalization of crypto mining, which allows the government to impose such restrictions. ⚡️
