🇷🇺 Russia to Enforce Year-Round Crypto Mining Ban From 2026

Starting in 2026, Russia will impose a permanent ban on crypto mining in Buryatia and Zabaykalsky Krai. The move targets energy pressure and grid stability, but its impact won’t stay local.

What this could trigger: • Forced miner relocation and temporary hash rate disruption

• Short-term uncertainty and volatility in BTC and mining-linked assets

• Increased concentration of mining power in fewer regions

• Higher operational costs as miners shift jurisdictions

Markets have seen this movie before. China’s mining crackdown caused a sharp hash rate shock and a brutal BTC drawdown before the network stabilized and recovered.

The key takeaway: policy shocks create short-term fear, not long-term weakness. Watch hash rate trends, miner flows, and market reaction before jumping to conclusions.
