China's province of Hainan reaches for crypto before mining company-mining Bitcoin messages

At the same time, the China Southern Power Grid operator keeps a lower price for households in the region, 0.6 yuan ( 0 $.
The Commission also prohibits crypto mining companies participating in the province's power exchange program. The miners were instructed to withdraw from the program in front of a defined deadline, which is not specified in the report. The regulatory authority has also promised to strengthen state supervision of its activities.
