On January 1, ten regions in Russia will completely ban Cryptos mining, and three other regions will implement partial bans. The government decree was passed on December 23, stipulating a complete ban on mining from January 2025 to March 2031, and in the other three regions, mining will be partially restricted during each heating season before 2031 (from November 15 to March 15 of the following year, excluding the first year when the ban takes effect on January 1, 2025). Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated at the end of December that the number of regions banning Cryptos mining might increase if requests are received from governors. The authorities of the Republic of Khakassia have already requested the Ministry of Energy to limit mining activities in the region.
