Irkutsk: Potential ban on cryptocurrency mining from April 1st

Irkutsk, Russia's largest Bitcoin mining hotbed, is facing the possibility of introducing a comprehensive ban on cryptocurrency mining. This is reported by a news agency. The planned regulation could come into force on April 1st and would have far-reaching effects on the local economy and the mining community.

The Irkutsk region is known for its favorable conditions for cryptocurrency mining, especially through low-cost energy sources. A ban could therefore not only affect the miners in this region, but also the entire environment that has developed around mining.

The discussion about a ban is part of a larger trend in which Russian authorities are trying to regulate the use of digital currencies. Experts warn that a ban not only affects mining itself, but could also have a negative impact on innovation and technological developments in the region.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what measures could be taken against miners. Stakeholders in the industry are closely monitoring developments and analyzing the potential consequences of such a ban.
