Russia Plans Permanent Crypto Mining Ban in Two Regions Starting 2026
Russia has announced plans to enforce a permanent ban on crypto mining in two of its regions beginning in 2026. The move reflects growing regulatory caution as authorities aim to control energy consumption and financial risks associated with digital asset operations.
The ban could reduce local Bitcoin and Ethereum mining output, impacting overall global hash rates. From a money supply perspective, decreased domestic mining may tighten the circulation of newly minted coins, potentially influencing crypto liquidity and market dynamics.
