🇷🇺 Russia to Impose Year-Round Crypto Mining Ban in 2026
Beginning in 2026, Russia will enforce a permanent crypto-mining ban in Buryatia and Zabaykalsky Krai.
This raises a familiar market concern.
Recall China’s mining shutdown: hash rate dropped sharply, miners were forced to relocate and liquidate, and $BTC saw a notable price decline before the network rebalanced.
Potential outcomes: • Short-term hash-rate disruption
• Miner capitulation and selling pressure
• Mining power redistribution
• Increased $BTC volatility
History suggests Bitcoin ultimately adapts—but transitions are rarely smooth.
Is this another temporary shock…
or the start of renewed pressure on miners?
