Russia goes after illegal miners with new registry for crypto mining rigs

The Russian government has established a register for cryptocurrency mining hardware to identify and regulate illegal mining operations. This move is part of ongoing efforts to legalize the industry and curb electricity theft in various regions.

Despite the legalization of mining in 2024, only a small fraction of miners have registered. Authorities emphasize that tracking electricity consumption is essential for effective taxation and regulation, as the government seeks to bring miners into compliance.
