Russia May Attract Half of Kazakhstan’s Cryptocurrency Miners, Analysts Say

Russian analysts predict that increasing regulatory pressures, tax burdens, and energy costs in countries like the U.S. and Kazakhstan may lead to a new migration of crypto miners. As a result, Russia has the potential to occupy up to 18% of the global bitcoin hashrate. According to Intelion Data Systems, a major Russian importer and distributor of mining hardware, Russia's share in the Bitcoin hashrate could potentially reach 18%. The toughening of policies towards the sector in leading countries could spark another major migration of miners, similar to the one that followed China's crackdown on the sector in 2021.

  • B.C. Hydro's Moratorium on Crypto Mining Deemed Reasonable by Provincial Supreme Court Judge

    A provincial supreme court judge has ruled that British Columbia's provincial power utility, B.C Hydro's, moratorium on crypto mining projects is reasonable. The moratorium was being challenged by Conifex Timber, a forestry company that had planned a mining operation with an indigenous tribe. Justice Michael Tammen stated that B.C. Hydro's ban was grounded on a cost-of-service basis, which aims to preserve affordable energy access for the broader population. Conifex believes that the continued ban is a missed opportunity for the province, while British Columbia is home to a number of zero-carbon footprint mining projects.
