Russian lawmakers suggest amnesty for illegal cryptocurrency miners

Oleg Ogienko of the State Duma proposed amnesty for illegal miners at the Digital Almaz forum. This could aid the 60% of miners struggling to register with the Federal Tax Service due to stringent regulations concerning illegally imported equipment.

Despite mining legalization in 2023, only 150 mining farms have registered. The energy crisis in regions like Siberia has prompted mining bans, while law enforcement continues to crack down on illegal operations through nationwide raids.
